Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires a local user session on a Dell ThinOS 10 device running a version prior to 2605_10.2518, with at least low-privilege credentials (confirmed by CVSS PR:L). Physical presence at the device or a legitimately provisioned remote local session is necessary; remote unauthenticated exploitation is explicitly not possible given AV:L in the CVSS vector. No user interaction from a second user is required (UI:N). The scope is unchanged (S:U), confining impact to the vulnerable ThinOS device itself. Exploitation is bounded by the requirement for at least some level of authenticated local access - an external unauthenticated attacker cannot trigger this directly. The specific OS feature, subsystem, or configuration path that enforces (or fails to enforce) the relevant access control is not disclosed in available public data.

Impact

The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) indicates that exploitation requires local access and low-privilege credentials, with low attack complexity, no user interaction, and complete impact across all three security pillars. The local attack vector is the primary limiting factor - an attacker cannot exploit this remotely without first obtaining a foothold on the device. No EPSS score was provided in the available data, so exploitation probability cannot be quantitatively compared against the CVSS severity. This vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, and no public exploit code has been identified, which modestly reduces urgency relative to the raw CVSS score. The 'Authentication Bypass' tag from the source intelligence aligns with an access control failure allowing privilege escalation beyond what the assigned user role should permit. In well-managed thin client environments with strict physical access controls, real-world exposure is constrained; however, in open-access kiosk or shared-terminal deployments, risk is materially higher.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A standard low-privileged user on a Dell ThinOS 10 thin client - such as a restricted kiosk operator or shared VDI terminal user - leverages the improper access control flaw to access OS resources or configuration data outside their permitted scope. By bypassing the access restriction, the attacker achieves read and write access to sensitive system components, potentially extracting stored credentials, altering system configuration, or rendering the endpoint unavailable. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, though the low attack complexity (AC:L) suggests the flaw could be discovered and triggered without specialized tooling.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 24, 2026

Improper access control in Dell ThinOS 10 (all versions prior to 2605_10.2518) enables a local low-privileged user to bypass access restrictions and gain unauthorized access to protected resources on the affected thin client system. The CVSS score of 7.8 (High) reflects complete confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact upon successful exploitation, despite requiring only local, low-privilege access with low attack complexity. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and this vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV.

RemediationAI

Upgrade Dell ThinOS 10 to version 2605_10.2518 or later, which resolves this improper access control vulnerability as confirmed by Dell Security Advisory DSA-2026-350 (https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000496575/dsa-2026-350-security-update-for-dell-thinos-10-for-multiple-vulnerabilities). If immediate patching is not feasible, restrict physical and network-based local access to ThinOS endpoints exclusively to authorized personnel, as the local attack vector (AV:L) means an attacker must have a local session on the device. Audit all local user accounts on ThinOS devices to enforce the principle of least privilege and remove any unnecessary accounts - note that removing accounts may impact legitimate users in shared kiosk scenarios. Network-level controls that block unauthorized remote management access (SSH, RDP, or similar) can reduce the attack surface but do not eliminate the vulnerability for users with legitimate local sessions.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Dell ThinOS is a purpose-built, locked-down operating system designed for thin client endpoints in enterprise virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) environments. The affected software is identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:dell:thinos_10:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*. The root cause is classified as CWE-284 (Improper Access Control), which describes failures to correctly enforce access restrictions based on privilege boundaries - commonly manifesting as missing authorization checks, insecure file or directory permissions, or insufficient privilege separation between user contexts within the OS. In a ThinOS environment, this is particularly sensitive because these devices often run as shared kiosk-style endpoints or tightly-managed VDI clients where OS-level privilege escalation can undermine the entire security posture of the thin client deployment.

DescriptionCVE.org

Dell ThinOS 10, versions prior to 2605_10.2518, contain an Improper Access Control vulnerability. A low privileged attacker with local access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Unauthorized access.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Dell ThinOS 10 thin client systems running versions prior to 2605_10.2518 contain a high-severity access control vulnerability (CVE-2026-61419, CVSS 7.8) with no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The vulnerability allows local users with low privilege to gain unauthorized access to protected resources, compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability of affected systems. Organizations with deployed thin client infrastructure should prioritize patching to prevent potential unauthorized access to sensitive resources on affected endpoints.
