CVE-2019-5363
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 affecting versions earlier than 7.3 E0506P09. The flaw allows unauthenticated or minimally authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code on the target system via network access 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.
-
Confirm HPE IMC is installedInspect the system for HPE Intelligent Management Center installation directories, services, or running processes (e.g., look for 'imc' or 'Intelligent Management Center' in installed programs, running services, or process lists)Affected if HPE IMC PLAT is found installed on the system
-
Identify the IMC PLAT versionLocate and read the IMC version information (typically accessible via the IMC web interface, configuration files, or product documentation for version location)Affected if The installed version is earlier than 7.3 E0506P09 or is exactly version 7.3 (any build before E0506P09)
-
Verify network accessibility of IMC interfaceDetermine if the IMC management interface is exposed to the network by checking firewall rules, listening ports, or network configuration (IMC typically uses web-based management ports)Affected if The IMC management interface is reachable from untrusted networks or the internet
-
Check for unauthenticated access vectorsDetermine if the IMC platform allows unauthenticated or minimally authenticated access to core functions (the vulnerability exploits unauthenticated or minimally authenticated access)Affected if Unauthenticated access to IMC platform functions is permitted
A system is affected if HPE Intelligent Management Center PLAT is installed with a version earlier than 7.3 E0506P09 (including all versions before 7.3 and version 7.3 itself) and the IMC 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. As immediate workarounds, restrict network access to the IMC management interface using firewalls or network segmentation, and disable unnecessary services.
