Dell OS10 Networking Switches running 10.5.2.x and above contain an OS command injection vulnerability when using remote user authentication. A remote unauthenticated attacker could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to the execution of arbitrary OS commands and possible system takeover. This is a critical vulnerability as it allows an attacker to cause severe damage. Dell recommends customers to upgrade at the earliest opportunity.
