Impact
Dell Alienware Command Center versions older than 6.14.54.0 contain a least privilege violation that can allow a local user with limited rights to raise privileges, run arbitrary code and potentially disable the application. The flaw is a direct exploitation of improper privilege checks within the application, leading to a local privilege escalation and denial of service scenario.
Affected Systems
The vulnerability impacts Dell Alienware Command Center for all users running versions prior to 6.14.54.0. This includes any system where the application is installed and accessed by local accounts that do not have administrative rights.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 6.7 indicates a medium severity risk. Because the EPSS score is not available and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, the likelihood of exploitation is uncertain but the low barrier to local access makes it a viable concern for any machine that allows non‑admin users to run the program. A local attacker could directly trigger the privilege escalation and code execution, thereby compromising the affected machine.
