AI Analysis

Impact

Dell Application Store versions before 26.05.0.7 suffer from a missing authentication flaw that allows an unauthenticated attacker to exercise critical functions. This flaw, classified as CWE-306, can enable arbitrary code execution on the host running the store application.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability applies to Dell Application Store when the installed version is older than 26.05.0.7. No other product versions are listed as affected.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.8 indicates a high severity risk. Although the EPSS score is not available, the lack of listed KEV status suggests no publicly known exploitation yet. An attacker with adjacent network visibility can exploit the flaw by calling vulnerable endpoints without authentication, potentially gaining full control of the compromised system.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the Dell Application Store security update 26.05.0.7 or later, which restores authentication checks for critical functions.
  • Enforce network segmentation or firewall rules so that the Application Store is only reachable from trusted hosts or networks, reducing the attack surface for adjacent attackers.
  • If an update cannot be applied immediately, temporarily disable or block the vulnerable API endpoints until the patch is released.
