Summary

CVE-2025-27694 is a medium-severity Insufficient Resource Pool (CWE-410) vulnerability in Dell Wyse Management Suite. Its CVSS base score is 5.3 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Endpoint Denial of Service (T1499); ranked at the 34th 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 SC-6 (Resource Availability) and AC-10 (Concurrent Session Control) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

T1499 Endpoint Denial of Service Impact
Adversaries may perform Endpoint Denial of Service (DoS) attacks to degrade or block the availability of services to users.
T1499.003 Application Exhaustion Flood Impact
Adversaries may target resource intensive features of applications to cause a denial of service (DoS), denying availability to those applications.
T1499.002 Service Exhaustion Flood Impact
Adversaries may target the different network services provided by systems to conduct a denial of service (DoS).

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SC-6 directly requires allocation of resources by priority or other means to protect availability against demand spikes.

AC-10 limits concurrent sessions per user, structurally capping how much of the pool any single actor can consume.

SC-5 reduces the impact of resource-exhaustion DoS events without addressing pool sizing itself.

PR.IR-04 full match
prevents

Directly requires maintaining adequate resource capacity to ensure availability, which prevents exhaustion attacks from insufficient pools.

degrades

Capacity management directly addresses sizing resource pools to handle peak demand and prevent exhaustion.

mitigates

Redundancy of processing facilities mitigates resource exhaustion by providing failover capacity.

prevents

Secure architecture principles include designing adequate resource allocation and limits.

finds

Security testing can detect insufficient resource pools before deployment.
