Dell Secure Connect Gateway (SCG) 5.0 Application versions prior to 5.36.00.00 and Appliance versions prior to 5.36.00.16 contain an OS Command Injection vulnerability. This flaw allows a high privileged attacker with remote access to potentially execute arbitrary OS commands, leading to elevation of privileges. The vulnerability is identified as CWE-78 and has a CVSS 3.1 score of 7.2 (high severity). No official patch or remediation guidance is currently provided.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-80127 is an OS Command Injection vulnerability in Dell Secure Connect Gateway 5.0 Application and Appliance. The vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of special elements used in OS commands, allowing a high privileged remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system. This can lead to elevated privileges and potentially full control over the affected system. The CVSS 3.1 vector indicates network attack vector, low attack complexity, high privileges required, no user interaction, unchanged scope, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation can result in elevation of privileges by executing arbitrary OS commands remotely with high privileges. This compromises confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system. The vulnerability affects both the Dell SCG 5.0 Appliance and Application components prior to the specified fixed versions.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or temporary workaround is currently documented. Organizations should monitor Dell's advisories for updates and apply patches once available.
