Local privilege escalation
Published Jun 2, 2026 · Updated Jun 2, 2026
Improper access control in Dell ThinOS 10 before 2602_10.0765_T10 allows local users with low privileges to escalate privileges. Dell has not disclosed the affected component or the access-control operation that mishandles an authorized user's scope. Exploitation requires local access and an existing low-privilege account; success grants privileges beyond the attacker's assigned role.
