Arbitrary file writes via improper authorization
Published Feb 7, 2023 · Updated Mar 25, 2025
Improper authorization in Dell Command | Intel vPro Out of Band before 4.4.0 allows local users to write arbitrary files. Dell has not disclosed the affected component, file-write path, or authorization check that wrongly permits the operation. A low-privileged local account and unspecified high-complexity conditions are required; successful exploitation permits writes to files otherwise outside that user's authority.
