CVE-2026-59912: Dell Display and Peripheral Manager (DDPM Mac), versions prior to 2.3.0.1005, contain an Improper Access Control vulnerability.

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 31/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.14% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: Dell Display and Peripheral Manager (DDPM Mac) 2.3.0.1005.
  • Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Dell Display and Peripheral Manager (DDPM Mac) 2.3.0.1005 or later.
