Alienware Command Center (AWCC): Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature
CVE-2026-91898 is a high-severity improper verification of cryptographic signature vulnerability in Alienware Command Center (AWCC) from Dell, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.1 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 6.14.54.0 as the first without the flaw, so updating Alienware Command Center (AWCC) to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.29% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.
What to do
- Update Alienware Command Center (AWCC) to 6.14.54.0 or a later version.
