CVE-2026-24508 describes an Improper Certificate Validation vulnerability found in Dell Alienware Command Center (AWCC). This flaw allows a low-privileged attacker with local access to potentially expose information. The vulnerability affects versions prior to 6.12.24.0, and a fix is available in version 6.12.24.0.
The Improper Certificate Validation vulnerability in AWCC allows a local attacker to bypass certificate validation checks. This means an attacker with local access to the system can potentially intercept or manipulate communications within the AWCC application, leading to information exposure. While the CVSS score is LOW, successful exploitation could reveal sensitive system configuration data or user preferences managed by AWCC. The potential impact is limited to the information accessible within the AWCC environment and does not provide a direct path to broader system compromise.
CVE-2026-24508 was publicly disclosed on 2026-03-11. There are currently no known public proof-of-concept exploits available. The vulnerability is not listed on the CISA KEV catalog. Given the LOW CVSS score and lack of public exploits, the probability of active exploitation is considered low.
Users with Alienware systems running AWCC versions prior to 6.12.24.0 are at risk, particularly those with shared user accounts or systems accessible to unauthorized local users. Systems with weak local account security or those lacking robust access controls are more vulnerable.

The primary mitigation for CVE-2026-24508 is to upgrade Dell Alienware Command Center (AWCC) to version 6.12.24.0 or later. If an immediate upgrade is not feasible, consider restricting local access to systems running vulnerable AWCC versions. While a direct workaround for bypassing certificate validation isn't available, ensuring the system's time is synchronized and that trusted root certificates are properly installed can help minimize the risk. After upgrading, confirm the vulnerability is resolved by verifying AWCC correctly validates certificates during its operation.
