Proprietary Code CVEs Description CVSS Base Score CVSS Vector String
CVE-2021-36320 Dell Networking X-Series firmware versions before 3.0.1.9 and Dell PowerEdge VRTX Switch Module firmware versions before 2.0.0.83 contain an authentication bypass vulnerability. A remote unauthenticated attacker may potentially hijack a session and access the webserver by forging the session ID. 7.5 CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
CVE-2021-36321 Dell Networking X-Series firmware versions before 3.0.1.9 and Dell PowerEdge VRTX Switch Module firmware versions before 2.0.0.83 contain an improper input validation vulnerability. A remote unauthenticated attacker may potentially exploit this vulnerability by sending specially crafted data to trigger a denial of service. 7.5 CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
CVE-2021-36322 Dell Networking X-Series firmware versions before 3.0.1.9 and Dell PowerEdge VRTX Switch Module firmware versions before 2.0.0.83 contain a host header injection vulnerability. A remote unauthenticated attacker may potentially exploit this vulnerability by injecting arbitrary host header values to poison the web-cache or trigger redirections. 6.1 CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N
