Privilege escalation from privileged accounts
Published Aug 19, 2026 · Updated Aug 20, 2026
Improper privilege management in Dell Technologies OpenManage Enterprise before 4.7.0 allows remote authenticated users to gain higher privileges. Dell has not disclosed the affected component or the specific authorization, role-assignment, or privilege-check operation that is performed incorrectly. Exploitation requires existing high-privilege remote access to the management application, limiting exposure to environments where an attacker already controls a powerful account but can still expand that account's authority.
