Dell Secure Connect Gateway SSRF Enables Unauthorized Access

Dell Secure Connect Gateway (SCG) Policy Manager, versions prior to 5.34.00.16, contains a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability. A high privileged attacker with remote access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Information disclosure, Protection mechanism bypass, Server-side request forgery, and Unauthorized access.

Casky was already ahead

This CVE exploits attack patterns that Casky's 331matched skills already investigate — long before this vulnerability was disclosed. Claude's reasoning model maps these techniques to MITRE ATT&CK, so practitioners who ran these skills have already seen the threat behaviour in their findings.

Analysis

CVE-2026-78024 is a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in Dell Secure Connect Gateway Policy Manager versions before 5.34.00.16. This vulnerability allows high-privileged attackers with remote access to forge requests from the vulnerable server to internal or external resources, bypassing network controls and authentication mechanisms. Organizations deploying Dell SCG for secure remote access and policy management are directly impacted, as the vulnerability enables attackers to access sensitive internal systems, exfiltrate data, and move laterally within the network infrastructure. The combination of SSRF with high-privilege requirements creates a significant risk for enterprises relying on this gateway for trusted access control.

Casky's 331 matching skills, powered by Claude's extended reasoning capabilities, map this vulnerability to MITRE ATT&CK techniques TA0001 (Initial Access) and TA0006 (Credential Access). Security practitioners using Casky would observe detection patterns aligned with reconnaissance of internal network topology, unauthorized requests to internal services, and credential harvesting attempts through the forged requests. The platform's skills would surface indicators such as anomalous outbound connections from the SCG process, requests to sensitive internal endpoints (metadata services, identity systems, configuration servers), and traffic patterns inconsistent with normal policy manager operations. By correlating these behavioral signals against the SSRF attack chain, practitioners gain visibility into exploitation attempts before they escalate to data breach or system compromise.
