CVE-2025-46367
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 Alienware Command Center 6.x (AWCC), versions prior to 6.10.15.0, contain a Detection of Error Condition Without Action vulnerability. A low privileged attacker with local access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Arbitrary Code Execution.
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 · moderate confidenceDell Alienware Command Center 6.x versions prior to 6.10.15.0 contain a logic vulnerability where the software detects certain error conditions but fails to take appropriate defensive action. This allows a low-privileged local attacker to escalate privileges and achieve arbitrary code execution on the affected system.

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 Alienware Command Center installationOpen Programs and Features (appwiz.cpl) or run 'Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Product | Where-Object {$_.Name -like "*Alienware Command Center*"}' to list installed Dell softwareAffected if Alienware Command Center appears in the installed programs list
-
Identify installed version numberRight-click the Alienware Command Center entry in Programs and Features and select Properties, or run 'Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\* | Where-Object {$_.DisplayName -like "*Alienware Command Center*"} | Select-Object DisplayVersion'Affected if A version number is returned in the output
-
Compare version against affected rangeInterpret the displayed version number. The affected range is version 6.0.0.0 through 6.10.14.x (any build below 6.10.15.0)Affected if The installed version starts with 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 6.5, 6.6, 6.7, 6.8, 6.9, or 6.10.0 through 6.10.14 (any minor/build number below 6.10.15.0)
-
Verify no interim update was appliedCheck Dell Support website or the application's built-in update checker for the most current version numberAffected if The available version from Dell is 6.10.15.0 or later but your installed version is lower
Your environment is affected if Dell Alienware Command Center is installed with any version from 6.0.0.0 up to but not including 6.10.15.0, as this range contains the logic vulnerability allowing local privilege escalation.
