CVE-2026-41119

Vulnerability

Overview CVE-2026-41119 is an improper certificate validation vulnerability in Dell Live Optics Windows and Personal Edition collectors. The collector fails to properly validate SSL/TLS certificates when establishing secure connections, which can allow an attacker to present a fraudulent certificate [1].

Exploitation

Conditions Exploitation requires a remote unauthenticated attacker to perform a man-in-the-middle attack, intercepting traffic between the collector and its backend services. The CVSS vector indicates high attack complexity and user interaction is required, meaning the attacker must trick a user into performing an action or the collector must connect to a malicious endpoint under specific conditions [1].

Impact

Successful exploitation leads to loss of confidentiality and integrity. An attacker could decrypt or modify data transmitted by the collector, potentially exposing sensitive information or injecting malicious data [1].

Mitigation

Dell has released version 27.1.10.1 of the Live Optics Collector to remediate this vulnerability. Users are advised to update to this version or later. No workarounds are mentioned in the advisory [1].
