CVE-2026-81469: CWE-428: Unquoted Search Path or Element in Dell Inventory Collector Client
Dell Inventory Collector Client, versions prior to 15.0.0, contain an Unquoted Search Path or Element vulnerability. A low privileged attacker with local access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Code execution and Elevation of Privileges
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-81469 is an unquoted search path vulnerability in Dell Inventory Collector Client versions before 15.0.0. This vulnerability arises when the software improperly handles executable search paths that contain spaces without proper quoting, enabling a local attacker with limited privileges to execute arbitrary code. Exploitation could lead to code execution and elevation of privileges on the affected host.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation can result in full compromise of the affected system by allowing code execution and privilege escalation from a low privileged local user. This could lead to unauthorized control over the system and potential further attacks within the environment.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or remediation details are provided in the available data. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the Dell vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict local access to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious activity related to this component.
