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 Operations Manager i (OMi) 9.22, 9.23, 9.24, 9.25, 10.00, and 10.01 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code 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 Operations Manager i (OMi) versions 9.22 through 10.01 contain an unspecified vulnerability allowing remote unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code, resulting in complete system compromise. The CVSS 10 score indicates network-exploitable, low-complexity attack requiring no authentication.

MitigationUpgrade to HP Operations Manager i version 10.10 or later per HP security bulletin. If immediate patching is not feasible, consider network segmentation and restricting access to OMi management ports from untrusted networks.

Verify against the referenced sources before acting — the references below are authoritative for this CVE, this summary is not.

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. Verify HP Operations Manager i installation
    Locate OMi installation directories or check for running processes related to HP Operations Manager i. Common installation paths include /opt/OV or C:\HP\BTO\OV on Windows. Look for processes named opcact, ovconfd, or ovbbccb.
    Affected if HP Operations Manager i is installed and running on the system
  2. Determine installed OMi version
    Run the command 'opcversion' if available, or check version files in the installation directory such as $OV_INSTALL_DIR/Install/postInstall.properties or the HP Operations Manager i management server properties file.
    Affected if The displayed version matches 9.22, 9.23, 9.24, 9.25, 10.00, or 10.01
  3. Check if OMi management ports are exposed
    Review firewall rules and network configuration to determine if default OMi ports (TCP 383, 3443, 8080, or custom management ports) are accessible from untrusted networks. Use 'netstat -an | grep -E "(383|3443|8080)"' to identify listening ports.
    Affected if OMi management interfaces are reachable from networks outside the trusted administrative zone
  4. Confirm authentication is not enforced on exposed interfaces
    Verify the OMi security configuration files and access control settings. Check whether the web console or API endpoints allow unauthenticated access by attempting to reach the login page without credentials.
    Affected if Unauthenticated access to OMi management interfaces is permitted from network perspectives

Your environment is affected if HP Operations Manager i version 9.22 through 10.01 is installed and its management interfaces are network-accessible, since the vulnerability allows remote unauthenticated code execution.

Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.

Check your environment

Paste your version and any relevant configuration and it will be compared against the affected criteria above. Do not include secrets or credentials.

Interim mitigation

Upgrade to HP Operations Manager i version 10.10 or later per HP security bulletin. If immediate patching is not feasible, consider network segmentation and restricting access to OMi management ports from untrusted networks.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

Upgrade to the fixed release specified in HPE Security Bulletin c04762687 (typically a subsequent 10.x release beyond 10.01)

  1. 1. Obtain the HPE patch from the vendor support portal at https://h20564.www2.hpe.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/kb/docDisplay?docId=emr_na-c04762687
  2. 2. Review the patch release notes to identify the fixed version for your current OMi installation
  3. 3. Download the appropriate patch or upgrade package for your version (9.22, 9.23, 9.24, or 9.25)
  4. 4. Apply the patch following HPE's standard patch installation procedures for Operations Manager i
  5. 5. Verify the patch was applied successfully by checking the OMi version number
  6. 6. Test critical Operations Manager i functionality to ensure normal operations
