CVE-2019-11958
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 was identified in HPE Intelligent Management Center (IMC) PLAT earlier than version 7.3 E0506P09.
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 confidenceRemote code execution vulnerability in HPE Intelligent Management Center (IMC) PLAT allows attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected systems. The vulnerability affects versions earlier than 7.3 E0506P09 and is exploitable remotely, likely through specially crafted network requests to the IMC platform.

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 IMC PLAT versionLog into the IMC web management console and navigate to the About or System Information page, or check the version information in the installation directory if you have server access. Compare the displayed version number to the affected ranges.Affected if The installed version is earlier than 7.3 E0506P09, or is exactly version 7.3 without the P09 patch.
-
Confirm IMC platform service is runningOn the IMC server, verify that the IMC Platform service (typically named 'iMC Platform' or similar) is actively running. This service must be enabled for the vulnerability to be exploitable.Affected if The IMC Platform service is running and accepting connections.
-
Check network exposure of IMC management interfaceReview firewall rules, network segmentation, and ACLs to determine whether the IMC web management port (default HTTPS port 443 or configured port) is accessible from untrusted networks or the internet.Affected if The IMC management interface is exposed to networks outside the trusted administrative zone.
-
Review access logs for suspicious requestsExamine IMC server access logs and authentication logs for unusual or malformed HTTP/HTTPS requests, especially those containing unexpected parameters or path traversal patterns that could indicate exploitation attempts.Affected if Log analysis reveals patterns consistent with exploitation attempts against the IMC platform.
You are affected if your HPE IMC PLAT version is 7.3 or earlier than E0506P09, the IMC Platform service is running, and the management interface is network-accessible.

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
Upgrade HPE IMC PLAT to version 7.3 E0506P09 or later. If immediate patching is not possible, restrict network access to the IMC management interface and monitor for suspicious activity.
