Local privilege escalation via Service EndPoint input
Published Feb 1, 2023 · Updated Mar 27, 2025
Improper input validation in Dell Rugged Control Center before 4.5 allows local users with low privileges to escalate privileges. The Service EndPoint accepts inadequately validated input, but Dell has not disclosed the input, operation, or privilege boundary that fails. Exploitation requires local low-privilege access and grants control at a higher privilege level, exposing data and system operations to compromise.
