Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide basic user capabilities that could normally affect only settings and files owned by a user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges may have the ability to cause an impact only to non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the impacted component.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 29 Jan 2026
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-26.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

Upgrade Dell OpenManage Network Integration to 3.9.

AI-suggested

1. Upgrade Dell OpenManage Network Integration to version 3.9 or later as soon as the patch becomes available to address the improper authentication flaw. 2. Until patching is possible, restrict network access to the management interface using firewalls, VPNs, or network segmentation to limit exposure to trusted administrators only. 3. Implement strict access controls and monitoring on the management network to detect unauthorized access attempts. 4. Employ multi-factor authentication (MFA) where supported to add an additional layer of security beyond the vulnerable authentication mechanism. 5. Regularly audit and review user privileges to ensure minimal necessary access is granted. 6. 7. Conduct internal penetration testing and vulnerability assessments focusing on network management systems to identify and remediate similar weaknesses. 8. Educate IT staff about the risks associated with improper authentication vulnerabilities and the importance of timely patching and network hygiene.

Description

Dell OpenManage Network Integration, versions prior to 3.9, contains an Improper Authentication vulnerability. A low privileged attacker with remote access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Information exposure.

Impact

For European organizations, the improper authentication vulnerability poses a risk of unauthorized information disclosure from network management systems. This could reveal network topology, device configurations, or credentials, facilitating subsequent attacks such as lateral movement or targeted intrusions. While the vulnerability does not directly compromise system integrity or availability, the confidentiality breach can undermine trust and compliance with data protection regulations like GDPR. Organizations in critical infrastructure sectors (energy, finance, telecommunications) that rely on Dell OpenManage Network Integration are particularly vulnerable due to the sensitive nature of managed network data. The medium severity rating suggests a moderate risk, but the ease of remote exploitation without user interaction increases urgency. If exploited, attackers could gain insights into network defenses, potentially leading to more severe attacks. The absence of known exploits currently limits immediate risk, but the vulnerability should be treated proactively to prevent future exploitation. European entities with extensive Dell deployments must assess exposure and prioritize remediation to maintain operational security and regulatory compliance.
