Dell AppSync Privilege Escalation
2026-04-01
UNIX symbolic link following in Dell AppSync 4.6.0 allows local authenticated attackers with low privileges to tamper with information and potentially escalate impact to high integrity and availability compromise. CVSS 7.3 (High) with low attack complexity. No public exploit identified at time of analysis. EPSS data not available, but local-only access requirement significantly reduces real-world attack surface compared to remotely exploitable vulnerabilities.
Incorrect permission assignment in Dell AppSync 4.6.0 enables local privilege escalation to high-impact system access. Authenticated attackers with low-privilege local access can exploit misconfigured resource permissions to elevate privileges, achieving full confidentiality, integrity, and availability compromise. No public exploit identified at time of analysis. Dell has released security advisory DSA-2026-163 addressing this vulnerability. EPSS data unavailable; CVSS 7.3 reflects significant local threat requiring user interaction.
