Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify the Dell SmartFabric OS10 version
    Run the command 'show version' or 'software version' from the OS10 CLI to display the installed OS10 version.
    Affected if The version displayed falls within >= 10.5.4.0 and < 10.5.4.13, OR >= 10.5.5.0 and < 10.5.5.12, OR >= 10.5.6.0 and < 10.5.6.6.
  2. Confirm the product is Dell SmartFabric OS10
    Run 'show system' or 'show inventory' to verify the platform is a Dell SmartFabric OS10 device.
    Affected if The device is confirmed to be running Dell SmartFabric OS10 and the version meets the criteria in step 1.
  3. Check for local user accounts
    Run 'show user-account' or review the local user configuration to list all configured local users on the system.
    Affected if Local user authentication is enabled and there are user accounts configured.
  4. Review command execution logs
    Examine system logs and audit trails for suspicious or unauthorized command execution, particularly from low-privileged accounts.
    Affected if Unexpected commands or command patterns appear in logs, especially from non-administrative accounts.

The system is affected if it runs Dell SmartFabric OS10 version 10.5.4.0 through 10.5.4.12, 10.5.5.0 through 10.5.5.11, or 10.5.6.0 through 10.5.6.5 and allows local user access.

Interim mitigation

Apply vendor-supplied patches for Dell SmartFabric OS10 when available. Until then, limit local access to trusted, authorized personnel only and monitor for suspicious command execution.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

Upgrade to the minimum fixed version in your current branch: 10.5.4.13+ (10.5.4.x), 10.5.5.12+ (10.5.5.x), or 10.5.6.6+ (10.5.6.x). Dell recommends moving to the latest available 10.5.6.x release for all branches.

  1. Identify the current Smartfabric OS10 version using 'show version' command
  2. Determine which version branch is currently deployed (10.5.4.x, 10.5.5.x, or 10.5.6.x)
  3. Download the appropriate fixed version from Dell support: for 10.5.4.x branch use 10.5.4.13 or later, for 10.5.5.x use 10.5.5.12 or later, for 10.5.6.x use 10.5.6.6 or later
  4. Upload the firmware to the OS10 device using 'software upload' command
  5. Install the firmware using 'software install' command
  6. Reboot the device to complete the upgrade
  7. Verify the new version is running with 'show version' command
  8. Confirm the vulnerability is resolved
