It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-80238 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-2026-80238/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-80238/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-80238","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-80238/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-80238","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-j888-26f8-cxxc"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Dell Secure Connect Gateway","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker with local SSH access or container compromise can exploit an exposed Docker socket to bypass protections and gain root-level control of the host.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"dell","cpe":[{"product":"secure_connect_gateway","vendor":"dell"}],"cvss":{"score":9.3,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-250","name":"Execution with Unnecessary Privileges"}],"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.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Secure Connect Gateway 5.0 - Appliance","id":"CVE-2026-80238","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"dell:secure_connect_gateway","products":["dell:secure_connect_gateway"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in Secure Connect Gateway 5.0 - Appliance","id":"CVE-2026-80239"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Thinking Software Technology｜Efence - Arbitrary File Upload","id":"CVE-2026-80237"},"products":["Secure Connect Gateway 5.0 - Appliance","Secure Connect Gateway 5.0 - Application"],"published":"2026-09-07","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Auth bypass in Secure Connect Gateway 5.0 - Appliance","id":"CVE-2026-80172","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-09"},{"cvss_score":9.4,"headline":"Missing authorization in Secure Connect Gateway 5.0 - Appliance","id":"CVE-2026-61410","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-07"},{"cvss_score":8.2,"headline":"Security feature bypass in Secure Connect Gateway 5.0 - Appliance","id":"CVE-2026-78491","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-09"},{"cvss_score":8.2,"headline":"Missing authorization in Secure Connect Gateway 5.0 - Appliance","id":"CVE-2026-79645","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-07"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Missing authorization in Secure Connect Gateway 5.0 - Appliance","id":"CVE-2026-80132","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-07"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Secure Connect Gateway 5.0 - Appliance","id":"CVE-2026-80166","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-07"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-09-08","vendors":["Dell"]},"summary":"An attacker with local SSH access or container compromise can exploit an exposed Docker socket to bypass protections and gain root-level control of the host.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-80238/"}
