Dell SupportAssist for Business PCs Local Privilege Escalation
Description

Dell SupportAssist for Business PCs version 3.4.0 contains a local Authentication Bypass vulnerability that allows locally authenticated non-admin users to gain temporary privilege within the SupportAssist User Interface on their respective PC.

However, the granted privilege is limited solely to the SupportAssist User Interface and automatically expires after 15 minutes.
