Display And Peripheral Manager Ddpm Mac
Monthly
Privilege escalation in Dell Display and Peripheral Manager (DDPM Mac) versions prior to 2.3.0.1005 allows a low-privileged local attacker to invoke critical functions that lack authentication controls, gaining elevated system privileges. The root cause is CWE-306 (Missing Authentication for Critical Function), a well-understood vulnerability class in macOS privileged helper architectures. No public exploit or CISA KEV listing exists at time of analysis; Dell has released a patched version per advisory DSA-2026-319.
Elevation of privileges and arbitrary code execution in Dell Display and Peripheral Manager (DDPM) for macOS exposes endpoints running versions prior to 2.3.0.1005 to local privilege escalation attacks. An improper access control flaw (CWE-284) allows a low-privileged local account to bypass access controls enforced by DDPM, ultimately achieving arbitrary code execution with elevated rights. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and no KEV listing exists, but the low attack complexity and complete impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability make this a meaningful risk in environments where untrusted or shared local users exist on managed macOS endpoints.
