CVE-2025-36593
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedDell OpenManage Network Integration, versions prior to 3.8, contains an Authentication Bypass by Capture-replay vulnerability in the RADIUS protocol. An attacker with local network access could potentially exploit this vulnerability to forge a valid protocol accept message in response to a failed authentication request.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceThis is a capture-replay vulnerability in the RADIUS protocol implementation of Dell OpenManage Network Integration. An attacker with local network access can capture a valid RADIUS Access-Accept message from a previous successful authentication and replay it to bypass authentication, allowing unauthorized access without knowing valid credentials.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm Dell OpenManage Network Integration is installedLocate the product installation directory or check installed programs list for Dell OpenManage Network IntegrationAffected if The product is installed on the system
-
Check installed version against affected rangeIdentify the installed version of Dell OpenManage Network Integration and compare it to the affected range (versions prior to 3.8)Affected if Installed version is lower than 3.8
-
Verify RADIUS authentication is configuredInspect the product configuration for RADIUS authentication settings - look for RADIUS server definitions and authentication policy configurationAffected if RADIUS authentication is enabled and configured as an authentication method
-
Confirm RADIUS message authenticator is not in useExamine RADIUS configuration for the Message-Authenticator attribute (attribute type 80) - check whether Message-Authenticator validation is enabled or disabledAffected if RADIUS is in use without Message-Authenticator attribute validation (the vulnerability requires RADIUS without this protection)
The environment is affected if Dell OpenManage Network Integration version低于3.8 is installed with RADIUS authentication enabled but without Message-Authenticator attribute validation protecting against replay attacks.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped3.8
Upgrade Dell OpenManage Network Integration to version 3.8 or later. As a temporary measure, ensure strict network access controls to limit who can intercept RADIUS traffic on the local network.
3.8
- 1. Backup the current Dell OpenManage Network Integration configuration and settings
- 2. Download Dell OpenManage Network Integration version 3.8 from Dell Support (support.dell.com)
- 3. Stop the Dell OpenManage Network Integration service
- 4. Install the version 3.8 upgrade package
- 5. Verify the installation completed successfully
- 6. Restart the Dell OpenManage Network Integration service
- 7. Confirm the RADIUS authentication is functioning correctly with the new version
