Dell Technologies has issued a security update addressing a vulnerability in its Update Manager Plugin (UMP), which could allow attackers to exploit sensitive data through improper neutralization of HTML tags in web pages.
This vulnerability, identified as CVE-2025-22402, has been classified as a low-severity issue and carries a CVSS base score of 2.6, indicating limited risk under specific conditions.
The vulnerability stems from an Improper Neutralization of Script-Related HTML Tags in a Web Page (Basic Cross-Site Scripting – XSS), which could be exploited by a low-privileged attacker with remote access.
Successful exploitation requires the attacker to trick a user into interacting with maliciously crafted content, potentially leading to information exposure.
Dell Update Manager Plugin Vulnerability
“Dell Update Manager Plugin, version(s) 1.5.0 through 1.6.0, contain(s) an Improper Neutralization of Script-Related HTML Tags in a Web Page (Basic XSS) vulnerability”, reads the advisory.
“A low privileged attacker with remote access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Information exposure.”
The Dell Update Manager Plugin is an integral component of the OpenManage Enterprise suite, designed for IT administrators to manage repositories for servers via iDRAC or Windows operating systems.
It enables seamless deployment of firmware updates and driver packages across multiple devices.
This plugin’s functionality includes creating repositories, importing update packages, and managing system bundles—collections of updates applicable to specific platforms.
While the technical nature of the exploit involves basic XSS, it highlights the importance of proper input validation and output encoding in web applications to prevent malicious actors from injecting unauthorized scripts.
Affected Products and Remediation
The vulnerability affects the following versions of the Dell Update Manager Plugin: Versions 1.5.0 through 1.6.0
Dell has released version 1.7.0 to remediate the issue, which is available for download via the Dell OpenManage Enterprise Update Manager portal.
Dell recommends users upgrade to UMP version 1.7.0 to mitigate the vulnerability.
For users unable to immediately update, Dell advises implementing input sanitization measures as a temporary workaround to neutralize potentially harmful scripts. No action is required for customers who have already installed version 1.7.0.
