CVE-2026-40717 Aug 03, 17:30 HIGH PATCH This Week

Local privilege escalation in Dell Monitor Driver exploits a symlink (link-following) flaw to allow a low-privileged local attacker to elevate to higher system privileges, achieving full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact on the host. The vendor has released a patch via Dell Security Advisory DSA-2026-295, and no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis. EPSS rates exploitation probability at 0.11% (2nd percentile), and SSVC classifies exploitation as none and automatable as no - consistent with the local-only attack vector and the absence of CISA KEV listing.
