MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Command and Control, Persistence The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires network reachability to the Dell Wyse Management Suite server (the thin-client/VDI/kiosk management console) running a version prior to 2605.0.3.683; per the CVSS vector (PR:N/UI:N) no authentication or user interaction is needed against a reachable instance. The concrete precondition is the presence of the vulnerable unrestricted-upload endpoint, which accepts a dangerous file type that the server subsequently executes; Dell does not disclose the exact endpoint, required configuration, or whether any non-default feature must be enabled. Practical limiting factor: WMS is typically an internal enterprise management server, so exposure depends on whether it is internet-facing or confined to a management LAN - reducing the effective attack surface below what the AV:N/PR:N vector alone suggests. |
| Impact | The vendor CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, 9.8 Critical) presents a maximal remote-unauthenticated profile: network-reachable, low complexity, no privileges, no user interaction, with full confidentiality/integrity/availability impact consistent with a file-upload-to-RCE chain (CWE-434). Against that severity, the exploitation-probability signals are markedly softer: EPSS is only 0.36% (30th percentile), there is no CISA KEV listing, and no public POC is referenced - so this is a high-CVSS issue whose real-world exploitation is not yet observed. The tension to state explicitly: CVSS models worst-case impact and reachability, while EPSS/KEV/POC indicate no evidence of active or automated exploitation at analysis time. No SSVC decision-point data was supplied for this specific CVE (a sibling in the same DSA-2026-387 batch carried SSVC exploitation=none/automatable=yes/impact=partial, but that cannot be assumed identical here). The upload mechanism is undisclosed in the advisory, so the true bar to weaponization (endpoint path, auth surface, file-type filtering) cannot be confirmed. Net: patch promptly given the unauthenticated-RCE profile on an internet- or LAN-reachable management server, but current telemetry points to latent/targeted rather than widespread exploitation. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote attacker who can reach the Wyse Management Suite server sends a crafted upload request placing a file of a dangerous type (e.g., a server-executable script or web payload) into a location the application will execute. When the uploaded file is invoked, attacker-controlled code runs on the management server, yielding control over the thin-client fleet it administers. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis, and the exact upload endpoint/mechanism is undisclosed by Dell. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv2 – Sep 21, 2026
Unauthenticated remote code execution affects Dell Wyse Management Suite versions prior to 2605.0.3.683 through an unrestricted upload of a dangerous file type that the server can subsequently execute. The CVSS 3.1 vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H (9.8 Critical), but exploitation requires network reachability to the WMS server and the presence of the vulnerable upload endpoint; Dell has not disclosed the exact endpoint or any required non-default configuration. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and no CISA KEV entry is present, while EPSS is low at 0.36% (30th percentile), so practical risk is highest for WMS instances that are internet-facing or broadly reachable from untrusted networks.
Earlier versions of this analysis (1)
Unauthenticated remote attackers can upload files of dangerous type to Dell Wyse Management Suite deployments running versions prior to 2605.0.3.683, because the console fails to restrict uploaded file types (CWE-434), which allows a crafted payload such as a web shell to be placed and executed on the server. The flaw carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.6 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), meaning no credentials or user interaction are required — only network reachability to the WMS web interface. Neither CISA KEV listing nor public exploit code has been identified in the supplied intelligence, so at time of analysis this is a severe but not yet confirmed-exploited issue.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade Dell Wyse Management Suite to 2605.0.3.683 or later as specified in Dell DSA-2026-387 (https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000502744/dsa-2026-387-security-update-for-dell-wyse-management-suite-wms-for-multiple-vulnerabilities). If immediate patching is not possible, the primary compensating control is to remove network reachability to WMS from untrusted networks: block internet exposure, place the management server behind a VPN or strict management-LAN ACLs, and restrict access to only trusted administrator and managed-device subnets. This reduces the unauthenticated remote attack surface but can disrupt remote administration and managed-device check-in if those paths are not accounted for. Because the vulnerable upload endpoint is not publicly identified, endpoint-specific blocking is not reliable; monitor WMS for unexpected file creation in web-accessible directories, process execution from upload locations, and anomalous POST/upload traffic, and consider WAF rules that reject dangerous file types while accepting possible false positives and recognizing that such filtering is not a substitute for the vendor patch.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Dell Wyse Management Suite is a thin-client, VDI, and kiosk management console. The flaw is CWE-434, Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type, meaning the application accepts an uploaded file without properly validating its extension, content type, or storage location and then allows that file to be executed by the server. Per the CVSS vector (PR:N/UI:N), no authentication or user interaction is needed against a reachable instance, and the affected CPE cpe:2.3:a:dell:wyse_management_suite:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* plus the ENISA EUVD range 0 < WMS 2605.0.3.683 indicate all versions before 2605.0.3.683. Dell has not published the exact vulnerable endpoint or required configuration, and because WMS is typically deployed on an internal management network, the effective attack surface depends on whether the server is internet-facing or confined to a management LAN. The vendor advisory is Dell DSA-2026-387 at https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000502744/dsa-2026-387-security-update-for-dell-wyse-management-suite-wms-for-multiple-vulnerabilities.

Dell Wyse Management Suite, versions prior to 2605.0.3.683, contain an Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker with remote access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Remote execution.
Executive ViewAI
Dell Wyse Management Suite - the console used to manage and image thin-client fleets - carries a critical, unauthenticated remote code execution flaw in all versions prior to 2605.0.3.683, meaning an attacker who can reach the server could take full control of it without any credentials. Because WMS typically holds administrative control over large endpoint populations and may store deployment credentials, a compromise could cascade into fleet-wide malware distribution or data loss. Leadership should care most if their WMS instance is internet-facing or reachable from untrusted networks, since no vendor patch is currently available and mitigation depends on network containment.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: remove internet exposure and restrict network reachability to a trusted management subnet; enforce VPN or jump-host access for administration; disable or block the vulnerable file-upload functionality at the reverse proxy/WAF if it is not required; apply file-type allowlisting and upload inspection; monitor for anomalous uploads and spawned processes; rotate WMS-associated credentials; and engage Dell support for early access to a fixed build. Note that exploitation requires network reachability to the WMS server, and no public exploit code or confirmed active exploitation (CISA KEV) was identified at time of analysis.
