CVE-2026-86360 is a path traversal vulnerability in Dell System Update (DSU) versions earlier than 2.3.0.0. Improper restriction of pathnames to an intended directory could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to obtain filesystem access and execute arbitrary code with root privileges, potentially completely compromising DSU and the underlying operating system. User interaction is reported as required, but the necessary action, vulnerable function, and complete exploitation sequence are not specified.
