Published Nov 12, 2024 · Updated Nov 12, 2024

Execution with unnecessary privileges in Dell SmartFabric OS10 10.5.3.x through 10.5.6.x allows local users to execute commands. Dell has not disclosed the affected component or the operation that causes attacker-controlled commands to run with privileges beyond those required. A low-privileged local account is required, and successful exploitation grants command execution on the switch.
