CVE-2026-32658
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 Automation Platform versions prior to 2.0.0.0, contains a missing authorization vulnerability. A low privileged attacker with remote access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Elevation of privileges.
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 Automation Platform versions prior to 2.0.0.0 contains a broken access control vulnerability where the platform fails to properly authorize user actions. A low-privileged authenticated attacker can bypass authorization checks to perform operations reserved for higher-privilege users, resulting in privilege escalation.

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.
-
Identify installed Dell Automation Platform versionLocate and inspect the version information for your Dell Automation Platform installation using the product's admin console, CLI tool, or configuration files. Common locations include the product's about page, version command output, or installation metadata.Affected if The detected version is any release prior to 2.0.0.0 (for example, 1.x.x or any older build number).
-
Verify authorization enforcement on API endpointsReview the API endpoint configuration and access control settings within the Dell Automation Platform. Use the platform's administrative interface or API documentation to examine which endpoints enforce role-based authorization and which may allow unauthenticated or improperly authorized access.Affected if API endpoints lack proper role validation or permit authenticated users to access functions reserved for higher-privilege roles without correct authorization checks.
-
Test for privilege escalation from low-privilege accountsCreate or obtain a low-privileged user account within the platform. Using this account, attempt to access or execute administrative functions, configuration changes, or operations typically restricted to administrator or elevated roles.Affected if The low-privileged account successfully performs actions that should require higher privileges, demonstrating that authorization checks are not being enforced.
-
Audit role-based access control configurationExamine the platform's role definitions and permission mappings through the admin console or configuration settings. Verify that each role has clearly defined boundaries and that higher-privilege operations require elevated role membership.Affected if Roles are misconfigured, permissions are not properly assigned, or the platform lacks enforced boundaries between privilege levels.
You are affected if your Dell Automation Platform version is prior to 2.0.0.0 and low-privileged users can access functions reserved for higher-privilege roles.
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 · scoped2.0.0.0
Upgrade Dell Automation Platform to version 2.0.0.0 or later which contains proper authorization enforcement. If immediate upgrade is not possible, audit all API endpoints and administrative functions for missing authorization checks and implement role-based access controls.
2.0.0.0
- Upgrade Dell Automation Platform to version 2.0.0.0 or later to remediate the missing authorization vulnerability.
- Consult Dell official upgrade documentation for platform-specific upgrade procedures.
- After upgrade, verify that the authorization controls are properly enforced and low-privileged users can no longer escalate privileges.
