CVE-2026-79975

Local SSRF via improper certificate validation

Published Sep 7, 2026 · Updated Sep 8, 2026

Improper certificate validation in Dell SCG Appliance before 5.36.00.16 and Application before 5.36.00.00 allows local users to trigger SSRF. Dell identifies certificate validation as the faulty operation but does not disclose the affected request path, certificate check, or input controlling the destination. Exploitation requires local low-privileged access and can make the gateway issue requests that expose data reachable from its server context.
