CVE-2023-3039

Local code execution via undisclosed access-control flaw

Published Sep 12, 2023 · Updated Sep 26, 2024

Improper access control in Dell SD ROM Utility before 1.0.2.0 allows local users to execute arbitrary code with limited access. Dell has not published the affected file or function, or the access-control operation that mishandles untrusted input. Exploitation requires low privileges and user interaction; successful exploitation runs attacker-controlled code in the affected system's limited-access context.
