Low risk4th percentile - higher than 4% of all known CVEs
Summary
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 contain an Execution with Unnecessary Privileges vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker with local access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Protection mechanism bypass. A low-privileged operator with SSH access to the SCG host can gain root-level access without a password by leveraging the exposed Docker socket. Additionally, an attacker who compromises a service within the orchestrator container can access the same socket and escape the container to obtain host-level control.
Risk Assessment
The risk includes privilege escalation to root on the host, potentially leading to full system and data compromise.
Recommendation
It is recommended to upgrade Dell SCG to the versions specified by the vendor as soon as possible to mitigate this vulnerability.

Original NVD description (English source)
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.
