The vulnerability stems from inadequate protection of credential recovery routines, enabling the attacker to retrieve or reset the BIOS password without proper authentication, as identified by CWE\u2011640.", "risk_and_exploitability": "With a CVSS score of 5.1, the vulnerability presents a medium severity risk. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, indicating a lower probability of widespread exploitation yet still significant due to the requirement of physical access. The attack vector is local, requiring an attacker to be physically present to trigger the password recovery exploitation. Once exploited, the attacker can gain privileged access to boot\u2011time settings and potentially all data stored on the device, thereby impacting confidentiality and integrity of the system. Regular audits and safeguards should be considered to limit potential impact until a firmware fix is applied."}}}}, "created": "2026-04-17T03:30:08.590688+00:00", "title": "Weak Password Recovery Mechanism in Dell Client Platform BIOS Allows Physical Access Attack", "updated": "2026-04-17T03:30:08.590700+00:00", "vendors": []}
