Unauthorized resource access via writable policy file
Published Dec 1, 2023 · Updated Aug 2, 2024
Improper access control in Dell Rugged Control Center before 4.7 allows local users to gain unauthorized access to resources. The Policy folder does not sufficiently protect its policy file from modification by a standard user, allowing attacker-supplied policy content. Local standard-user access is required; the altered policy can change resource access, while Dell reports no confidentiality impact.
