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: High: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide significant (e.g., administrative) control over the vulnerable component that could affect component-wide settings and files.
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: High: There is total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact.
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 18 Mar 2026
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponized: 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
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
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 30 Oct 2026.

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.
Weaponized: A Metasploit exploit module or Exploit-DB entry exists (Metasploit scanner modules do not count), or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity 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 Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller to 7.10.90.00 or later or 7.00.00.174 or later.

AI-suggested

1. 2. Restrict network access to iDRAC interfaces by implementing network segmentation, firewall rules, and VPN access to limit exposure to trusted administrators only. 3. Enforce strong authentication and access controls for iDRAC management interfaces, including multi-factor authentication where supported. 4. Regularly audit and monitor iDRAC access logs for unusual or unauthorized activity. 5. Disable unused debug or diagnostic features in iDRAC configurations to minimize information exposure. 6. Conduct internal vulnerability assessments and penetration tests focusing on management interfaces to identify and remediate similar information disclosure risks. 7. Maintain an inventory of Dell servers and their iDRAC firmware versions to prioritize patching and risk management efforts. 8. Educate IT staff about the risks of information disclosure vulnerabilities and the importance of securing management interfaces.

Description

Dell Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 9, 14G versions prior to 7.00.00.174, 15G and 16G versions prior to 7.10.90.00, contain an Exposure of Sensitive System Information Due to Uncleared Debug Information vulnerability. A high privileged attacker with remote access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to information disclosure.

Impact

The primary impact of CVE-2026-26948 is the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive system information from Dell iDRAC interfaces. This information leakage can aid attackers in understanding system configurations, firmware versions, or other internal details that may be leveraged for subsequent attacks, such as privilege escalation or lateral movement within a network. Although the vulnerability does not directly compromise system integrity or availability, the confidentiality breach can weaken an organization's security posture. Organizations relying heavily on Dell servers with iDRAC for remote management, especially in data centers, cloud providers, and critical infrastructure sectors, could face increased risk of targeted attacks. The requirement for high privileges limits exploitation to insiders or attackers who have already gained elevated access, but the remote network attack vector means exploitation can occur without physical presence. The absence of known exploits in the wild reduces immediate risk but does not eliminate the threat, especially as threat actors may develop exploits once details become widely known.
