CVE-2026-79963Network attack vector

Unauthenticated command execution via unverified code download

Published Sep 9, 2026 · Updated Sep 11, 2026

Code integrity failure in Dell SCG 5.0 Appliance before 5.36.00.16 and Application before 5.36.00.00 allows remote attackers to execute commands. Dell has not disclosed the download path, component, or missing integrity-verification operation that permits untrusted code to run. The interface is remotely reachable without authentication, but exploitation requires high-complexity conditions and can alter data or interrupt the service.
