Local code execution via unquoted search path
Published Sep 25, 2025 · Updated Sep 25, 2025
Unquoted path handling in Dell Wireless 5932e and Snapdragon X62 drivers before 3.2.0.22 allows local users to execute code. Dell has not disclosed which executable path is unquoted or the component that launches it, so the precise code locus remains unpublished. Low-privileged local access is required; successful path interception runs attacker-controlled code in the vulnerable component's execution context.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
