CVE-2016-4378
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 · uneditedThe (1) Device Manager, (2) Tiered Storage Manager, (3) Replication Manager, (4) Replication Monitor, and (5) Hitachi Automation Director (HAD) components in HPE XP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Software before 8.4.1-00 and XP7 Command View Advanced Edition Suite before 8.4.1-00 allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via unspecified 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 · high confidenceThis is an information disclosure vulnerability affecting multiple HPE XP P9000 and XP7 Command View Advanced Edition components (Device Manager, Tiered Storage Manager, Replication Manager, Replication Monitor, and HAD).

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 HPE XP Command View installationCheck system inventory or installed software list for HPE XP P9000 Command View or XP7 Command View Advanced Edition components (Device Manager, Tiered Storage Manager, Replication Manager, Replication Monitor, or HAD)Affected if Any of the listed Command View components are installed
-
Determine installed Command View versionUse the product's built-in version check utility or look in the application metadata for the exact version number (such as in the About section or version file)Affected if Version is 8.4.0 or earlier for either XP9000 Command View or XP7 Command View
-
Verify vulnerability windowCompare your installed version against the affected range: versions prior to 8.4.1-00 are vulnerableAffected if Installed version is 8.4.0 or below, or the version cannot be determined but the product is present
-
Confirm affected components are in useCheck if any of these components are active: Device Manager, Tiered Storage Manager, Replication Manager, Replication Monitor, or HADAffected if Any of these components are running or enabled in the Command View environment
You are affected if HPE XP9000 or XP7 Command View Advanced Edition is installed with version 8.4.0 or earlier and any of the vulnerable components (Device Manager, Tiered Storage Manager, Replication Manager, Replication Monitor, HAD) are present.

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 HPE XP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Software and XP7 Command View Advanced Edition Suite to version 8.4.1-00 or later. Apply network segmentation and restrict access to management interfaces as interim controls.
