CVE-2026-80129: CWE-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') in Dell Secure Connect Gateway 5.0 - Application
Dell SCG 5.0 Appliance versions prior to 5.36.00.16 and Dell SCG 5.0 Application versions prior to 5.36.00.00, contains an Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker with remote access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to remote execution.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-80129 is a path traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) affecting Dell Secure Connect Gateway 5.0 Appliance versions prior to 5.36.00.16 and Application versions prior to 5.36.00.00. The vulnerability arises from improper limitation of pathname access to restricted directories, which could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute code remotely. The CVSS 3.1 vector indicates network attack vector, high attack complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, unchanged scope, low confidentiality impact, high integrity impact, and no availability impact.
Potential Impact
An unauthenticated remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code remotely on affected Dell SCG 5.0 systems. This could compromise system integrity and potentially lead to further unauthorized actions. Confidentiality impact is low, and availability is not affected according to the CVSS vector. No known active exploitation has been reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or temporary workaround has been published at this time. Users should monitor Dell's advisories for updates and apply patches promptly once available.
