CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability affects Dell SCG 5.0 Appliance and Application versions prior to 5.36.00.16 and 5.36.00.00, respectively, allowing unauthenticated local attackers with SSH access to exploit the exposed Docker socket for root-level access without a password. This critical flaw poses a significant risk as it enables attackers to bypass protection mechanisms and gain host-level control, particularly if they compromise a service within the orchestrator container. Organizations using affected versions should prioritize immediate upgrades to mitigate this severe security risk.

Original NVD Description
Dell SCG 5.0 Appliance versions prior to 5.36.00.16 and Dell SCG 5.0 Application versions prior to 5.36.00.00, contains an Execution with Unnecessary Privileges vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker with local access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Protection mechanism bypass. This vulnerability is considered critical because a low-privileged operator with SSH access to the SCG host can gain root-level access to the host without requiring a password by leveraging the exposed Docker socket. Additionally, an attacker who compromises a service running within the orchestrator container can access the same socket and escape the container boundary to obtain host-level control. Dell recommends that customers upgrade at the earliest opportunity.
