CVE-2017-5823
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 · uneditedA Remote Code Execution vulnerability in HPE Intelligent Management Center (iMC) PLAT version 7.3 E0504P04 was found.
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 · low confidenceA Remote Code Execution vulnerability exists in HPE Intelligent Management Center (iMC) PLAT version 7.3 E0504P04, allowing unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code on the affected system due to unspecified improper input validation.

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 if HPE Intelligent Management Center is installedCheck system for presence of HPE iMC software - look for iMC installation directories, services named 'iMC' or 'Intelligent Management Center', or check Add/Remove Programs for HPE iMC entriesAffected if HPE iMC PLAT is not installed on the system
-
Determine the installed iMC PLAT versionAccess the iMC management console and navigate to the About or System Information section, or check the version information in the iMC installation directory if accessibleAffected if The installed version cannot be determined or is below 7.3 E0504P04
-
Compare installed version against affected rangesCompare the discovered version to the affected range: versions < 7.3 or exactly version 7.3 are vulnerable; version 7.3 E0504P04 and higher are patchedAffected if Installed version is 7.3 or any version below 7.3 (for example, 7.2, 7.1, etc.)
-
Assess network exposure of iMC management interfacesDetermine if iMC web-based management ports (typically 8080, 8443, or 443) are accessible from untrusted networks or the internetAffected if iMC management interfaces are exposed to untrusted network segments or the internet without proper access controls
The system is affected if HPE Intelligent Management Center PLAT is installed with a version equal to or below 7.3 (versions 7.3 or lower), and the management interface is network-accessible to attackers.

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 data7.3
Apply the vendor-supplied patch for HPE iMC PLAT 7.3 E0504P04. If patching is not immediately possible, restrict network access to the iMC management interfaces and monitor for indicators of compromise.
