# ManageEngine DDI Central: authorization bypass lets users run commands on DHCP servers

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-75869 (this .md is for agents)

ManageEngine DDI Central before build 6301 lets an authenticated non-administrative user reach DHCP subnets they should not control. Crafted DNS suffix values can be passed into PowerShell, so an attacker may execute arbitrary commands on managed Windows DHCP servers.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Check the installed DDI Central build number in the product's About or version page; `unknown` if the sources do not give the path
- Check whether non-administrative accounts can use DHCP subnet management in DDI Central

## Fix

- ManageEngine DDI Central builds below `6301`: move to build `6301` or later

## Timeline

- 2026-11-12T13:38:24+00:00 nvd https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-75869

## From the sources

Zohocorp ManageEngine DDI Central versions below 6301 is affected by an authorization bypass and PowerShell command injection vulnerability that allowed authenticated non-administrative users to target unauthorized Windows DHCP subnets and potentially execute arbitrary commands on managed Windows DHCP servers through crafted DNS suffix values.
