CVE-2014-2620
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-2089.
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 Intelligent Management Center (iMC) and Branch Intelligent Management System (BIMS) contain an unspecified vulnerability allowing remote attackers to obtain sensitive information. The vulnerability affects versions prior to iMC 7.0 E02020P03 and BIMS 7.0 E0201P02. The specific attack vector and nature of exposed data are not publicly disclosed.

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 iMC or BIMS versionLocate the installed HP Intelligent Management Center or Branch Intelligent Management System software and retrieve its version number through the product's about dialog, version info in the control panel, or by querying the application's built-in version checkAffected if The installed version is HP iMC version 7.0 prior to E02020P03, or HP BIMS version 7.0 prior to E0201P02
-
Compare version against affected rangesExamine the full version string including any build identifiers (such as E0201P02) and compare numerically to the affected ranges: iMC versions before 7.0 E02020P03 and BIMS versions before 7.0 E0201P02Affected if The version string indicates a build earlier than E02020P03 for iMC or earlier than E0201P02 for BIMS
-
Verify management interface accessibilityDetermine if the HP iMC or BIMS web-based management console is exposed to network access by checking firewall rules, listening ports, or network configurationAffected if The management interface is reachable from untrusted networks, as the vulnerability allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information
A system is affected if HP iMC version 7.0 below E02020P03 or BIMS version 7.0 below E0201P02 is installed and the management interface is network-accessible.

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 dataUpgrade HP iMC to version 7.0 E02020P03 or later and BIMS to version 7.0 E0201P02 or later. If immediate patching is not feasible, restrict network access to management interfaces and monitor for unauthorized access attempts.
