AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Network-reachable OMSA service with low complexity and no user interaction, but requires pre-existing high privilege (PR:H); heap overflow yields code execution so C/I/A all High, scope unchanged.

Dell OpenManage Server Administrator, versions prior to 11.1.0.3, contains a Heap-based Buffer Overflow vulnerability. A high privileged attacker with remote access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Code execution.
AnalysisAI
Remote code execution in Dell OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA) managed-node installations prior to 11.1.0.3: a heap-based buffer overflow (CWE-122) that an attacker holding administrator-level privileges on the OMSA service can trigger over the network without user interaction, gaining code execution on the managed host with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. The flaw scores 7.2 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) and affects Windows, RHEL 8.10, RHEL 9.4, SLES 15, and Ubuntu 22.04 managed nodes. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the attacker to already hold high (administrator-level) privileges on the Dell OMSA managed-node service (CVSS PR:H) and network reachability to that service (AV:N); no user interaction is needed (UI:N). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | This is a genuine but privilege-gated code-execution flaw, sitting in the middle band of real-world risk. … 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 patch: upgrade Dell OpenManage Server Administrator managed-node installations to version 11.1.0.3 or later on Windows, RHEL 8.10, RHEL 9.4, SLES 15, and Ubuntu 22.04, applying the platform-specific packages described in Dell DSA-2026-403 at https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000506586/dsa-2026-403-security-update-for-dell-openmanage-server-administrator-omsa-network-access-vulnerabilitiesv. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory every Dell managed node running OMSA below 11.1.0.3 across Windows, RHEL 8.10, RHEL 9.4, SLES 15 and Ubuntu 22.04, and confirm whether OMSA management interfaces are reachable from untrusted or flat internal networks; where they are, restrict access to a hardened management VLAN or jump host and review OMSA administrator group membership for stale or over-privileged accounts. …
