Dell SCG 5.0 Appliance versions prior to 5.36.00.16 and Dell SCG 5.0 Application versions prior to 5.36.00.00, contains an Use of Hard-coded Credentials vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker with remote access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to information exposure.
AnalysisAI
Hard-coded credentials in Dell Secure Connect Gateway (SCG) 5.0 expose sensitive information to unauthenticated remote attackers across both the Appliance and Application deployment variants. The vulnerability (CWE-798) allows an attacker who discovers or possesses the embedded credentials to authenticate without authorization and access confidential data. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | No special runtime configuration is required - the hardcoded credential is present in all SCG 5.0 Appliance versions prior to 5.36.00.16 and all SCG 5.0 Application versions prior to 5.36.00.00 by default. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 7.5 score with AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N accurately reflects a remotely exploitable, zero-prerequisite information disclosure - even a mid-sized municipal IT team in sanok running SCG for remote support management should treat this as urgent given the complete lack of authentication barrier once the hardcoded credential is known. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patches are available under Dell advisory DSA-2026-382. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all Dell Secure Connect Gateway deployments to identify instances running version 5.0 and assess exposure across both appliance and application variants, then document current access patterns and sensitive data accessed through affected systems. …
