CVE-2026-79947

Local script injection via unsanitized command input

Published Sep 9, 2026 · Updated Sep 9, 2026

OS command injection in Dell SCG 5.0 Appliance and Application allows local users to inject scripts through unsanitized command input. Dell identifies neither the affected component nor the operation that passes attacker-controlled input to an operating-system command, so the precise injection locus remains undisclosed. Exploitation requires low-privileged local access and affects confidentiality without reported integrity or availability impact.
