CVE-2026-61409Network attack vector

Unauthenticated command execution via OS command injection

Published Sep 7, 2026 · Updated Sep 8, 2026

OS command injection in Dell Secure Connect Gateway Application before 5.36.00.00 allows remote attackers to execute commands without authentication. Dell has not disclosed the vulnerable endpoint, parameter, command-building routine, or untrusted input that reaches the operating-system command. Network access to the application is sufficient; successful exploitation provides command execution with limited confidentiality, integrity, and availability effects.
