Summary

CVE-2025-27692 is a medium-severity Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type (CWE-434) vulnerability in Dell Wyse Management Suite. Its CVSS base score is 4.7 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 38th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SI-3 (Malicious Code Protection) and CM-7 (Least Functionality) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

Dell Wyse Management Suite versions prior to WMS 5.1 contain an unrestricted upload of file with dangerous type vulnerability tracked as CVE-2025-27692 and CWE-434. The flaw permits an attacker to upload files of arbitrary and potentially executable types to the affected management platform.

A high-privileged attacker with remote network access can leverage the weakness to cause denial of service, disclose information, or achieve remote code execution. The issue is rated 4.7 under CVSS 3.1 with the vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L.

Dell advisory DSA-2025-135 addresses the vulnerability and directs customers to upgrade to WMS 5.1 or later. The associated EPSS score rose from a low baseline to a peak of 0.0166 on 2026-02-03 before receding, indicating post-disclosure exploitation interest.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Malicious-code protection at entry points blocks dangerous file types from being accepted and executed.

Least functionality restricts the file types and automatic processing capabilities the system will accept.

SC-18 Mobile Code partial match

Mobile-code controls define, authorize, and block unacceptable uploaded code before automatic processing occurs.

finds

Configuration and acceptance testing verify that file-upload handling enforces allowed types and does not permit dangerous content to be stored or executed.

prevents

Secure-coding guidelines and security testing explicitly address restrictions on allowed file types and upload handling, reducing the risk that dangerous file uploads are accepted without validation.

prevents

Mandated testing for malicious content and known vulnerabilities reduces the likelihood that an outsourced component will contain or accept dangerous file types that could later be uploaded or executed.

mitigates

Application allow-listing and pre-use scanning of received files directly blocks the introduction of executable content that has not been vetted, eliminating the primary vector for unrestricted dangerous file uploads.
