Overview
CVE-2025-46370 is a security vulnerability affecting Dell Alienware Command Center (AWCC) version 6.x, specifically versions prior to 6.10.15.0. This vulnerability, classified as a Process Control issue, could allow a local, low-privileged attacker to potentially gain unauthorized access to sensitive information.
Technical Details
The vulnerability resides within the AWCC software and stems from insufficient access control mechanisms during process execution. A low-privileged user with local access to the affected system could potentially manipulate process parameters or influence the execution flow of AWCC components, leading to the disclosure of sensitive data. While specific details are not publicly available to prevent further exploitation, the core issue involves a flaw in how the application handles process control operations.
CVSS Analysis
The Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) assigned CVE-2025-46370 a score of 3.3. This indicates a LOW severity vulnerability. The CVSS vector likely reflects the following characteristics:
- Attack Vector (AV): Local (L) – Requires local access to the system.
- Attack Complexity (AC): Low (L) – Relatively easy to exploit.
- Privileges Required (PR): Low (L) – Requires low-level privileges.
- User Interaction (UI): None (N) – No user interaction required.
- Scope (S): Unchanged (U) – Vulnerability affects only the AWCC component.
- Confidentiality (C): Low (L) – Limited information disclosure.
- Integrity (I): None (N) – No impact on data integrity.
- Availability (A): None (N) – No impact on system availability.
Possible Impact
Successful exploitation of CVE-2025-46370 could result in the following:
- Information Disclosure: A low-privileged attacker could potentially gain access to sensitive configuration data, system information, or other data handled by the Alienware Command Center. The scope of the information disclosed is likely limited due to the low severity rating.
It’s important to note that this vulnerability requires local access, meaning a remote attacker would first need to compromise the system in some other way before exploiting this particular flaw.
Mitigation and Patch Steps
The recommended mitigation is to update Alienware Command Center to version 6.10.15.0 or later. Dell has released a patch addressing this vulnerability.
- Download the Update: Visit the Dell support website to download the latest version of Alienware Command Center.
- Install the Update: Follow the installation instructions provided by Dell.
- Verify the Installation: After installation, verify that the installed version is 6.10.15.0 or later.
It is highly recommended to keep your software up-to-date to protect against known vulnerabilities.
