CVE-2026-46732: CWE-362: Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition') in Dell Display and Peripheral Manager
Dell Display and Peripheral Manager (DDPM Mac), versions prior to 2.3, contain a Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition') vulnerability. A low privileged attacker with local access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Elevation of Privileges.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-46732 describes a race condition vulnerability in Dell Display and Peripheral Manager (DDPM) for Mac, affecting versions prior to 2.3. The issue arises from concurrent execution using shared resources without proper synchronization, which may be exploited by a low privileged local attacker to gain elevated privileges. The CVSS 3.1 vector indicates the attack requires local access with high attack complexity and user interaction, but can result in high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No vendor advisory or patch information is currently available to confirm remediation status.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could lead to elevation of privileges by a low privileged local attacker, potentially compromising system confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The attack complexity is high and requires user interaction, limiting ease of exploitation. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict local access to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious activity related to DDPM. Avoid executing untrusted code or scripts that could trigger the race condition.
