CVE-2026-23855: CWE-78: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') in Dell iDRAC9
Dell iDRAC9, 14G versions prior to 7.00.00.184, 15G/16G versions prior to 7.30.10.50, and Dell iDRAC10, 17G versions prior to 1.30.30.50, contain an Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') vulnerability. A high privileged attacker with remote access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to command injection.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-23855 describes an OS command injection vulnerability in Dell iDRAC9 (14G versions before 7.00.00.184, 15G/16G versions before 7.30.10.50) and iDRAC10 (17G versions before 1.30.30.50). The vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of special elements used in OS commands, enabling a high privileged remote attacker to inject and execute arbitrary commands on the affected system. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.2, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, high privileges required, no user interaction, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could allow a high privileged remote attacker to execute arbitrary OS commands, potentially leading to full system compromise including confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the Dell vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or temporary workaround is indicated in the provided data. Users should monitor Dell's security advisories for updates and apply patches once available.
