Local privilege escalation via undisclosed access-control flaw
Published Oct 13, 2023 · Updated Feb 27, 2025
Improper access control in Dell OpenManage Server Administrator 11.0.0.0 and earlier allows local users to execute code with elevated privileges. Dell has not published the affected component or the access-control operation that mishandles untrusted input. Exploitation requires a low-privileged local account and user interaction, and successful code execution can compromise the system.
