CVE-2026-81453 is a path traversal vulnerability in Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Managed Node (Patch) for Windows, affecting versions before 11.1.0.3. This vulnerability arises from improper limitation of pathname to a restricted directory, allowing a low privileged remote attacker to gain unauthorized filesystem access. The CVSS 3.1 score is 6.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, low privileges required, no user interaction, unchanged scope, and high confidentiality impact. No known exploits in the wild have been reported. The vendor has released version 11.1.0.3 to address this issue.

An attacker with low privileges and remote access can exploit this vulnerability to access files on the filesystem that should be restricted. This compromises confidentiality but does not affect integrity or availability. There are no reports of active exploitation in the wild.

Upgrade Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Managed Node (Patch) for Windows to version 11.1.0.3 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. Patch status is confirmed by the versioning information. No additional mitigations are specified.
