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 · unedited
Unspecified vulnerability in HP StoreVirtual 4000 Storage and StoreVirtual VSA 9.5 through 11.0 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 confidence

HP StoreVirtual 4000 Storage and StoreVirtual VSA versions 9.5 through 11.0 contain an unspecified vulnerability allowing remote authenticated users to elevate privileges. The CVSS score of 9 indicates network-level exploitability with complete compromise potential, likely involving authentication bypass or privilege escalation in the storage system's management interface.

MitigationApply HP patches or upgrade StoreVirtual to a version beyond 11.0 per HP's vendor guidance. Restrict network access to management interfaces and enforce least-privilege accounts until patching is complete.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify HP StoreVirtual product installation
    Check system inventory or installed software list for HP Storage Management Software, HP StoreVirtual 4000, StoreVirtual VSA, or any StoreVirtual model (4130, 4330, 4330fc, 4335, 4530, 4630, 4730)
    Affected if Any of these products are found on the system
  2. Determine installed StoreVirtual version
    Access the storage system management interface or check the software version via CLI: for Storage Management Software, look in Add/Remove Programs (Windows) or rpm -qa | grep -i hp (Linux); for hardware appliances, use the storage system CLI or CMC/UI console
    Affected if Version is 9.5, 10.0, 10.5, or 11.0 (exact matches per the advisory)
  3. Confirm StoreVirtual hardware model
    Identify the specific StoreVirtual model number through the management console, hardware label, or system inventory
    Affected if Model is StoreVirtual 4130, 4330, 4330fc, 4335, 4530, 4630, or 4730 (all versions of these models are affected regardless of version number)
  4. Verify management interface exposure
    Check network configuration for exposed management ports (typically 443/https for the storage management interface); review firewall rules and network segmentation for the storage system
    Affected if Management interface is accessible from untrusted networks or the internet

The environment is affected if HP StoreVirtual or HP Storage Management Software is installed and the version is 9.5, 10.0, 10.5, or 11.0, OR if a StoreVirtual model 4130/4330/4330fc/4335/4530/4630/4730 is present (all versions), especially with an exposed management interface.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Apply HP patches or upgrade StoreVirtual to a version beyond 11.0 per HP's vendor guidance. Restrict network access to management interfaces and enforce least-privilege accounts until patching is complete.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

StoreVirtual 12.0 or later (contact HPE for exact fixed version)

  1. Contact HPE support to obtain the official security patch for CVE-2014-2606
  2. If a patch is unavailable, upgrade to StoreVirtual version 12.0 or later which contains the security fix
  3. For Storevirtual hardware appliances (4130, 4330, 4330fc, 4335, 4530, 4630, 4730), apply any available firmware updates from HPE
  4. After upgrade, verify that the vulnerability is resolved by reviewing release notes
  5. Restrict network access to Storage Management interfaces to trusted IP addresses only until upgrade is complete
Caveat Review HPE StoreVirtual release notes for any configuration or feature changes between versions 9.5-11.0 and the target upgrade version
