Impact

Dell Alienware Command Center before version 6.14.54.0 contains a least privilege violation that lets a low‑privileged user with local access elevate privileges and potentially disrupt service. The flaw can allow a local attacker to gain higher level access to the command center and may cause denial of service by crashing or disabling functions. The weakness is identified as CWE-272.

Affected Systems

Affected are Dell Alienware Command Center (AWCC) for all users running any version earlier than 6.14.54.0. No other products or vendors are listed.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.0 indicates high severity and the EPSS score is not available, so exploitation probability cannot be precisely estimated. The vulnerability is not in the CISA KEV catalog. The attack is local: a user already able to log on to the machine with low privileges can use the flaw to climb privileges or interrupt service.
