Physical Administrator code execution
Published May 26, 2022 · Updated Sep 16, 2024
Authentication bypass in Dell OS Recovery Tool before 5.5.2 allows physically proximate attackers to execute code as Administrator. Dell has not published the affected authentication locus or the alternate path or channel that accepts access without authentication. Physical access to a supported Dell client platform is required; successful exploitation grants Administrator-level code execution.
