System compromise via uncontrolled file search path
Published Apr 10, 2024 · Updated Aug 1, 2024
Uncontrolled search-path handling in Dell Alienware Command Center before 6.2.7.0 allows local users to execute malicious files. Dell has not identified the executable, library, directory, or search-order operation that accepts the attacker-controlled file. Exploitation requires local placement of a malicious file in a searched path and compromises the system's confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
