Impact

Dell Alienware Command Center, versions before 6.14.20.0, has a least privilege violation that lets a local low‑privileged user gain higher privileges. This can compromise system integrity and allow unauthorized system changes or data access.

Affected Systems

Dell Alienware Command Center (AWCC) software distributed by Dell, specifically versions earlier than 6.14.20.0 of the 6.x release tier.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 7.3 and is not listed in CISA's KEV catalog. EPSS is not available, but given that it requires local access, the attack surface is limited to machines with physical access or already compromised. Because it provides privilege escalation, risk remains moderate to high in environments where local users have access to the device.
