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 versionAccess the HPE IMC web interface and navigate to the About or System Information page, typically found under Help or Administration menus. Alternatively, check the installation directory for a version file or examine startup logs that display the version on service initialization.Affected if The displayed version is any release of 7.3 (such as 7.3 E0504, 7.3 E0505, 7.3 E0506) or any version earlier than 7.3 (such as 7.2, 7.1, 5.x). Versions before E0506P09 within the 7.3 branch are affected.
-
Confirm PLAT component is runningCheck if the HPE IMC PLAT (Platform) service is active and accessible. This is typically the core web service running on port 8080 or 443. Access the IMC login page to verify the service is operational.Affected if The PLAT web interface is accessible and responds, indicating the vulnerable component is exposed.
-
Identify the exact patch levelIf version 7.3 is displayed, determine the specific patch level (E0504, E0505, E0506, etc.). This information is usually visible in the About page, release notes, or the version string displayed in the web interface footer or system information.Affected if The version shows 7.3 without the E0506P09 suffix, or shows an earlier E-prefixed patch level (E0504, E0505) indicating the patch has not been applied.
The environment is affected if HPE IMC PLAT is running and the installed version is any release of 7.3 or any version earlier than 7.3, specifically before the E0506P09 patch level.
