CVE-2014-2602
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedUnspecified vulnerability in HP OneView 1.0 and 1.01 allows remote authenticated users to gain privileges via unknown vectors.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceHP OneView versions 1.0 and 1.01 contain an unspecified vulnerability allowing remote authenticated users to elevate their privileges beyond what their current role should permit. The attack vector is remote and requires valid authentication, but the exact exploitation method is not disclosed.
Verify against the referenced sources before acting — the references below are authoritative for this CVE, this summary is not.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm HP OneView is installedCheck system for HP OneView application by searching for OneView installation directories or checking running services (e.g., service hpov* status on Linux, or look for HP OneView processes in Windows Task Manager)Affected if HP OneView software is present on the system
-
Identify installed HP OneView versionAccess the HP OneView web interface and navigate to About section, or check the installer version via command line if available (common paths: /opt/hp/oneview or C:\Program Files\HP\OneView). Also check the HP OneView appliance management console for version information.Affected if Version displayed is exactly 1.0 or 1.01
-
Verify remote access is enabledCheck HP OneView network settings in the administration console to confirm remote access or API access is enabled. Review firewall rules and network exposure of the OneView management interface.Affected if Remote network access to the OneView interface is permitted from non-trusted networks
-
Review active user accounts and rolesLog into HP OneView as administrator and navigate to User Management or Access Control section to list all users and their assigned roles. Note any users with elevated or administrative roles.Affected if Multiple user accounts exist with varying privilege levels, particularly any accounts beyond the default administrator
-
Check authentication configurationExamine HP OneView authentication settings (Local Authentication, Active Directory/LDAP integration) in the administration console to confirm how user authentication is configured and whether external authentication sources are in use.Affected if Authentication is configured to allow remote user logins
User is affected if HP OneView versions 1.0 or 1.01 are running with remote access enabled and multiple authenticated users exist, allowing potential privilege escalation beyond assigned roles.
