Unauthenticated virtual console access
Published Jul 29, 2021 · Updated Sep 17, 2024
Improper authentication in Dell Technologies iDRAC9 allows remote attackers to access the virtual console over the network. Dell has not published the affected request, authentication check, or input that causes the virtual-console authorization failure. No iDRAC credentials are required, but user interaction is required; successful exploitation provides remote console access to the managed server.
