Vulnerability from variot

Dell SupportAssist Client versions prior to 3.2.0.90 contain a remote code execution vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker, sharing the network access layer with the vulnerable system, can compromise the vulnerable system by tricking a victim user into downloading and executing arbitrary executables via SupportAssist client from attacker hosted sites. Dell SupportAssist Client Contains an input validation vulnerability.Information is obtained, information is altered, and service operation is disrupted (DoS) There is a possibility of being put into a state. Dell SupportAssist Client is prone to the following security vulnerabilities: 1. A cross-site request forgery vulnerability 2. A remote code-injection vulnerability An attacker may leverage these issues to perform certain unauthorized actions and gain access to the affected application or execute arbitrary code. This may aid in further attacks. The program provides automated, proactive and predictive techniques for troubleshooting and more. The vulnerability stems from the failure of the network system or product to properly validate the input data
