Unauthenticated remote command execution via OS command injection
Published Sep 17, 2026 · Updated Sep 18, 2026
OS command injection in Dell OpenManage Server Administrator before 11.1.0.3 allows remote attackers to execute commands without authentication. Dell has not published the affected endpoint or parameter, but reports that attacker-controlled special elements are not neutralized before an OS command is processed. Exploitation requires network reachability and high-complexity conditions, and successful attacks can remotely execute code on the managed server.
