AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-56090 describes an Uncontrolled Search Path Element vulnerability in Dell ObjectScale before version 4.3.0.1. This vulnerability enables a low privileged attacker with local access to exploit the improper handling of search paths, potentially leading to elevation of privileges. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.3, reflecting high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No known exploits in the wild are reported, and no vendor advisory or patch information is provided in the input data.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could allow an attacker with local access and low privileges to escalate their privileges, potentially gaining higher-level access to the system. This could compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since no official patch or fix information is provided, users should monitor Dell's security advisories for updates and apply any official patches once available. Until then, restrict local access to trusted users only.
