Dell Rugged Control Center (RCC) before version 5.2.206 contains an Improper Authorization flaw that allows a user with local, low‑privileged access to bypass security controls and assume higher system privileges. The vulnerability is a classic case of elevation of privileges, enabling the attacker to execute functions normally reserved for administrators.

Dell Rugged Control Center (RCC) installations on Dell devices running any version earlier than 5.2.206. All builds prior to the 5.2.206 patch are affected.

The official CVSS base score of 4.4 classifies the flaw as moderate severity. EPSS data is not available, so the exploitation probability cannot be quantified, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. The attack requires local access by a low‑privileged user who can exploit the improper authorization to elevate privileges, potentially compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system.
