CVE-2014-2618
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 Intelligent Management Center (iMC) before 7.0 E02020P03 and Branch Intelligent Management System (BIMS) before 7.0 E0201P02 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via unknown vectors, aka ZDI-CAN-2080.
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.

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.
-
Identify installed HP management productCheck for HP Intelligent Management Center or Branch Intelligent Management System installation on the system. Look for service processes named 'iMC' or 'BIMS' or check installed programs list.Affected if Neither iMC nor BIMS is installed on the system
-
Determine iMC versionNavigate to the iMC installation directory and locate a version file, or check the application properties through the Windows 'Add or Remove Programs' interface, or run 'imc -version' from the command line if available.Affected if The installed version is 7.0 and is earlier than E02020P03
-
Determine BIMS versionNavigate to the BIMS installation directory and locate a version file, or check the application properties through the Windows 'Add or Remove Programs' interface.Affected if The installed version is 7.0 and is earlier than E0201P02
-
Compare against affected rangeDocument the exact version string including any patch level (E0xxxx) and compare to the affected ranges: iMC 7.0 before E02020P03 and BIMS 7.0 before E0201P02.Affected if Running version 7.0 of either product without the required patch level
A user is affected if HP Intelligent Management Center version 7.0 before E02020P03 or Branch Intelligent Management System version 7.0 before E0201P02 is installed on their system.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataApply HP iMC version 7.0 E02020P03 or later, and BIMS version 7.0 E0201P02 or later. If immediate patching is not feasible, restrict network access to management interfaces and monitor for unauthorized access attempts.
