Impact
Dell Alienware Command Center (AWCC) before version 6.12.24.0 contains an Improper Access Control flaw (CWE‑284). A low‑privileged user with local system access can exploit the weakness to disrupt the AWCC service, causing a denial of service to that user’s application environment. This flaw does not allow elevation of privileges, data disclosure, or code execution, but it can interrupt normal operation of the Alienware Command Center functionality.
Affected Systems
The vulnerability affects Dell Alienware Command Center, versions earlier than 6.12.24.0. Systems running these versions on Dell hardware may be impacted.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS base score is 3.6, indicating low severity. The EPSS score is below 1% and the issue is not listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. Exploitation requires local access and a low‑privileged attacker, so the risk is limited to users who can log into the affected machine. The attack vector is local; protection is primarily through patching.
