Impact
Dell Alienware Command Center (AWCC) contains an Improper Privilege Management weakness that allows a low‑privileged local attacker to elevate privileges. The vulnerability is identified as CWE‑269 and could enable an attacker to gain higher-level access on the affected system. This elevation could compromise the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of the system by allowing the attacker to perform operations reserved for more privileged users.
Affected Systems
The issue affects Dell Alienware Command Center versions prior to 6.12.24.0. Installations of these older releases are vulnerable and should be considered at risk until updated.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score is 6.7, indicating medium severity. The EPSS score is less than 1%, implying a low likelihood of widespread exploitation. The vulnerability is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog, but the local attack vector requires low‑privilege access on a compromised or physically accessible machine. Overall, the risk is moderate due to the severity of privilege escalation combined with the low exploitation likelihood.
