An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-79971 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Dell Secure Connect Gateway. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-79971/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-79971/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-79971","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-79971/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-79971","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pg7g-85p4-wj72"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Dell Secure Connect Gateway","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated remote attackers can inject scripts via improper sanitization in Dell Secure Connect Gateway, potentially executing code or bypassing security controls.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"dell","cpe":[{"product":"secure_connect_gateway","vendor":"dell"}],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-1236","name":"Improper Neutralization of Formula Elements in a CSV File"}],"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 Improper Sanitization of Custom Special Characters vulnerability.
