CVE-2025-46367 is a vulnerability classified under CWE-390, indicating that the Dell Alienware Command Center software versions prior to 6.10.15.0 detect error conditions but fail to take appropriate corrective actions. This improper error handling can be leveraged by a low-privileged attacker who has local access to the affected system. The attacker can exploit this flaw to execute arbitrary code, potentially escalating privileges and gaining control over the system. The vulnerability does not require user interaction, making it more dangerous in environments where local access is possible. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8 reflects high severity, with attack vector local (AV:L), low attack complexity (AC:L), low privileges required (PR:L), no user interaction (UI:N), and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:H/I:H/A:H). Although no public exploits are known at this time, the vulnerability poses a significant risk due to the potential for complete system compromise. The lack of a patch link suggests that a fix may be pending or recently released, so organizations should monitor Dell's advisories closely. The vulnerability affects Alienware Command Center, a software suite commonly used on Dell's gaming and high-performance PCs, which may be present in both consumer and enterprise environments, especially in sectors involving gaming, design, and development.

For European organizations, this vulnerability presents a substantial risk, particularly in sectors where Dell Alienware systems are used for gaming, software development, or high-performance computing. Successful exploitation could lead to arbitrary code execution, allowing attackers to compromise system confidentiality, integrity, and availability. This could result in data breaches, unauthorized access to sensitive information, disruption of critical operations, and potential lateral movement within networks. Organizations with shared or multi-user environments are especially vulnerable due to the local access requirement. The impact is heightened in industries such as technology, media, and entertainment, as well as research institutions that utilize Alienware hardware. Additionally, the vulnerability could be leveraged in targeted attacks against high-value individuals or organizations. The absence of known exploits currently provides a window for proactive defense, but the risk of future exploitation remains high.

1. Restrict local access to systems running Dell Alienware Command Center by enforcing strict physical and logical access controls, including the use of strong authentication and session locking. 2. Monitor systems for unusual or unauthorized activity, focusing on processes and services related to Alienware Command Center. 3. Apply the latest patches and updates from Dell as soon as they become available; regularly check Dell's security advisories for updates on this vulnerability. 4. Implement application whitelisting to prevent unauthorized code execution on affected systems. 5. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments on endpoints running Alienware Command Center to detect potential exploitation attempts. 6. Educate users about the risks of local privilege escalation and enforce least privilege principles to minimize the impact of compromised accounts. 7. Consider isolating or segmenting systems with Alienware Command Center in sensitive environments to limit potential lateral movement.
