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
A security vulnerability in HPE Intelligent Management Center (iMC) PLAT E0506P09, createFabricAutoCfgFile could be remotely exploited via directory traversal to allow remote arbitrary file modification.

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 confidence

A directory traversal vulnerability in HPE Intelligent Management Center (iMC) PLAT E0506P09 in the createFabricAutoCfgFile function allows remote attackers to manipulate file paths and write arbitrary files to the filesystem without authentication.

MitigationApply HPE iMC PLAT E0506P09 or later patch; if unavailable, restrict network access to the iMC management interface to trusted sources only.

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 HPE iMC is installed
    Check for HPE Intelligent Management Center installation by looking for the iMC service or installation directory (typically in C:\hp\iMC or C:\Program Files\HP\iMC)
    Affected if iMC software is installed on the system
  2. Identify iMC version
    Check the installed version through the iMC web interface (usually port 8080 or 8443), or look for version information in installation logs or registry entries under the iMC installation path
    Affected if Version is below 7.3 or equals exactly 7.3
  3. Confirm PLAT component version
    Within the iMC web interface, navigate to the PLAT (platform) component version information, typically found under System > System Info or similar administrative pages
    Affected if PLAT version is E0506P09 or earlier (pre-fix)
  4. Check network exposure
    Verify if the iMC management interface (ports 8080/8443) is accessible from untrusted networks by reviewing firewall rules or performing a port scan from an external host
    Affected if iMC is reachable from untrusted/network-accessible IP addresses

A system is affected if HPE Intelligent Management Center is installed with version 7.3 or below, and the management interface is network-accessible.
