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 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-2090.

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

An information disclosure vulnerability in HP Intelligent Management Center (iMC) and Branch Intelligent Management System (BIMS) allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information. The vulnerability exists in versions prior to iMC 7.0 E02020P03 and BIMS 7.0 E0201P02. The exact attack vector is unspecified in the available documentation.

MitigationApply the vendor-supplied patches: upgrade HP iMC to version 7.0 E02020P03 or later, and BIMS to version 7.0 E0201P02 or later. As a compensating control, restrict network access to management interfaces.

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 if HP Intelligent Management Center is installed
    Check for iMC installation by looking for the 'imc' service or examining the installation directory (commonly C:\Program Files\HP\iMC or /opt/imc). On Windows, use 'sc query' or check Programs and Features. On Linux, check for /opt/imc or use 'rpm -qa | grep -i imc'
    Affected if HP iMC version 7.0 is found and the version is earlier than E02020P03
  2. Identify if HP Branch Intelligent Management System is installed
    Check for BIMS installation by looking for 'bims' in installed programs or the installation directory. On Windows, check Programs and Features. On Linux, check for bims-related processes or directories.
    Affected if BIMS version 7.0 is found and the version is earlier than E0201P02
  3. Determine the exact version of HP iMC
    On Windows, right-click the iMC shortcut and select Properties to view the version, or check the 'about' page in the iMC web console. On Linux, examine version files in the installation directory or run the version command if available.
    Affected if The version string shows a build earlier than E02020P03 (for example, E0201, E0202, or any E02xxP01/P02)
  4. Determine the exact version of BIMS
    Check the BIMS version through its management console or examine version information in the installation directory. Look for version files or check the 'about' section in the BIMS web interface.
    Affected if The version string shows a build earlier than E0201P02
  5. Check network exposure of management interfaces
    Review firewall rules and network configuration to determine if the iMC/BIMS management ports (typically TCP 8080, 8443, or 80/443 for web consoles) are accessible from untrusted networks or the internet.
    Affected if Management interfaces are exposed to untrusted networks (the vulnerability is remotely exploitable)

A system is affected if HP iMC version 7.0 below E02020P03 or BIMS version 7.0 below E0201P02 is installed and its management interface is network-accessible.
