Wyse Management Suite: Insufficient Resource Pool
CVE-2025-27694 is a high-severity insufficient resource pool vulnerability in Wyse Management Suite from Dell, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists version 5.1 as the first without the flaw, so updating Wyse Management Suite to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.45% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.

Official description
Dell Wyse Management Suite, versions prior to WMS 5.1, contains an Insufficient Resource Pool vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker with remote access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Denial of service.
Source: the CVE record as published by its numbering authority, via NVD and CVE.org.
The underlying weakness: Insufficient Resource Pool
The product's resource pool is not large enough to handle peak demand.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Do not perform resource-intensive transactions for unauthenticated users and/or invalid requests.
- Consider implementing a velocity check mechanism which would detect abusive behavior.
- Consider load balancing as an option to handle heavy loads.
Timeline
- CVE record published.
- CISA published its SSVC assessment (exploitation: none, automatable: yes, technical impact: partial).
- Record last changed materially (score, affected products, status or references).
