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 IMC PLAT is installedCheck for HPE Intelligent Management Center service or installation directory on the system. Look for iMC PLAT service in Windows Services or check common installation paths like C:\Program Files\HPE\iMC or /opt/hp/imcAffected if HPE Intelligent Management Center PLAT software is found on the system
-
Determine the installed versionLocate the version information for the installed HPE IMC PLAT. Common methods include: checking the about/version dialog in the IMC web interface, examining version info in the installation directory, or running the IMC version check command if availableAffected if Unable to determine the version or version information is missing
-
Compare version against affected rangeCompare your installed version number to the affected range: any version earlier than 7.3 E0506P09, or exactly version 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, or 7.3Affected if Installed version is 7.3 or any version lower than 7.3 (such as 7.0, 7.1, 7.2) and is not 7.3 E0506P09 or later
-
Verify network exposureDetermine if the IMC web interface or management port is accessible from untrusted networks. Check firewall rules and network configuration that allow unauthenticated access to IMC ports (typically 8080, 8443, or 443)Affected if The IMC service is reachable from untrusted networks without authentication
The system is affected if HPE Intelligent Management Center PLAT is installed and the version is earlier than 7.3 E0506P09 or exactly version 7.3, with the service accessible to potential attackers.
