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 Intelligent Provisioning is presentCheck system inventory or installed software list for HP Intelligent Provisioning applicationAffected if HP Intelligent Provisioning is installed on the system
-
Determine installed versionUse the software's built-in version display function, check its About/Info panel, or inspect the application metadata through the system package managerAffected if The version number returned is 1.00 through 1.62(a), exactly 2.00, or exactly 2.10
-
Verify version is within affected rangeCompare your identified version against the affected ranges: versions <= 1.62(a), version 2.00, and version 2.10Affected if Your installed version matches any of these three conditions (1.00-1.62a, 2.00, or 2.10)
-
Assess network exposureReview network configuration to determine if HP Intelligent Provisioning is accessible from network segments outside the local administration zoneAffected if The service is network-accessible without restriction (this vulnerability allows remote code execution)
You are affected if HP Intelligent Provisioning is installed and the version is 1.00-1.62(a), 2.00, or 2.10.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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.
dbcve · scopedUpdate HP Intelligent Provisioning to the latest patched version (beyond 1.62(a) and 2.10) via HP support channels. If the system cannot be updated, isolate Intelligent Provisioning network access and restrict to authorized administrators only.
Version greater than 2.10 (e.g., 2.11 or later) - refer to HPE security bulletin for exact fixed version
- 1. Identify the current version of HP Intelligent Provisioning installed on the affected system
