CVE-2025-36580 is a Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability identified in Dell Wyse Management Suite versions prior to 5.2. This vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of input during web page generation, classified under CWE-79. An attacker with high privileges and remote access to the management suite could exploit this flaw by injecting malicious scripts into the web interface. The vulnerability requires user interaction, meaning the victim must interact with the crafted malicious content for the exploit to succeed. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.1, indicating a medium severity level. The attack vector is network-based (remote), with low attack complexity, but requires high privileges and user interaction. Successful exploitation could lead to compromise of confidentiality and integrity by executing arbitrary scripts in the context of the management suite’s web application, potentially allowing the attacker to steal sensitive information, hijack sessions, or perform unauthorized actions within the management console. Availability impact is rated as none. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, and no patches have been linked yet. The vulnerability affects Dell Wyse Management Suite, a product used for centralized management of thin clients and endpoints, commonly deployed in enterprise environments.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a significant risk especially to enterprises and public sector entities that utilize Dell Wyse Management Suite for endpoint management. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive configuration data, session hijacking, or manipulation of management operations, potentially undermining the security posture of large-scale deployments. Given the high privileges required, the threat actor is likely an insider or an attacker who has already gained elevated access, which could facilitate lateral movement and further compromise. The confidentiality and integrity of management data are at risk, which could impact compliance with GDPR and other data protection regulations. Although availability is not directly affected, the indirect consequences of compromised management systems could disrupt IT operations and incident response capabilities.

1. Upgrade Dell Wyse Management Suite to version 5.2 or later as soon as the patch becomes available to remediate the vulnerability. 2. Restrict remote access to the management console using network segmentation, VPNs, and firewall rules to limit exposure to trusted administrators only. 3. Enforce strong authentication mechanisms and monitor for unusual high-privilege account activities to detect potential misuse. 4. Implement Content Security Policy (CSP) headers and input validation/sanitization on the web application layer to reduce the risk of script injection. 5. Conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on web application vulnerabilities in management platforms. 6. Educate administrators about the risks of XSS and the importance of cautious interaction with web interfaces, especially when handling untrusted input. 7. Monitor vendor advisories closely for official patches and apply them promptly once released.
