Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires an attacker to have a local, low-privilege account on the host running Dell SCG 5.0 Appliance (prior to 5.36.00.16) or SCG 5.0 Application (prior to 5.36.00.00). The attacker must be able to read files or directories on the local filesystem that the SCG service writes sensitive information to. Remote unauthenticated exploitation is not possible given AV:L. Exploitation is limited to: (1) local access to the SCG host, (2) low-privilege OS account, and (3) the specific file/directory being readable by that account - typical hardened deployments restricting shell access to SCG appliances significantly reduce real-world risk.

Impact

The CVSS 3.1 vector CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N accurately reflects the constrained threat model: exploitation requires local, authenticated, low-privilege access to the host running SCG, yields only limited confidentiality impact, and has no integrity or availability dimension. EPSS data is not provided; given the local-only vector and low CVSS, opportunistic internet-based exploitation is not plausible. There is no KEV listing and no public POC. For environments where SCG appliances or application instances are accessed by multiple, potentially untrusted local users (e.g., shared administrative jump hosts), the risk is marginally elevated. For typical SCG deployments with restricted local access, real-world exploitability is low. The primary concern is privilege escalation via exposed credentials or tokens if the sensitive data in the accessible file could be reused for higher-privilege operations.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A low-privilege local user on a shared SCG appliance or application host navigates to or reads an externally-accessible log, configuration, or temporary file written by the SCG service. If that file contains credentials, API tokens, or other sensitive material, the attacker extracts them and potentially uses them to authenticate to Dell support back-end services or other internal systems. No public exploit code exists for this scenario.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 09, 2026

Dell Secure Connect Gateway (SCG) 5.0 - both the Appliance and Application editions - writes sensitive information into files or directories that are externally accessible on the local system (CWE-538). A local attacker with low privileges who can read those files gains access to information they should not be authorized to see. No public exploit code exists and no active exploitation has been reported; the low CVSS base score of 3.3 reflects the local, low-privilege access requirement and limited confidentiality impact.

RemediationAI

Upgrade Dell SCG 5.0 Appliance to version 5.36.00.16 or later and Dell SCG 5.0 Application to version 5.36.00.00 or later per the vendor-released patch described in DSA-2026-382 (https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-in/000503426/). As a compensating control prior to patching, restrict local user access on SCG hosts to only authorized administrators, preventing untrusted low-privilege accounts from reading the filesystem; note that this does not eliminate the underlying vulnerability but raises the bar for exploitation. Audit file and directory permissions on SCG hosts to identify and restrict access to any sensitive files written by the SCG service.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Dell Secure Connect Gateway is a remote-support and telemetry gateway appliance/application used by enterprises to route device support data to Dell back-end services. CWE-538 describes situations where an application writes sensitive data (credentials, tokens, internal configuration, or other PII) to a file or directory that is readable by processes or users outside the intended trust boundary. In this case the exposure is local - an attacker already on the system at low-privilege level can access the externally-accessible file or directory. Affected CPEs are cpe:2.3:a:dell:secure_connect_gateway_5.0_-_application:* and cpe:2.3:a:dell:secure_connect_gateway_5.0_-_appliance:*, covering all versions of each prior to the patched releases.
