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 viewbatchtaskresultdetailfact expression language injection remote code execution vulnerability was discovered in HPE Intelligent Management Center (iMC) version(s): Prior to iMC PLAT 7.3 (E0705P07).

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 confidence

An expression language injection vulnerability in HPE Intelligent Management Center's viewbatchtaskresultdetailfact component allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted EL expressions. The vulnerability affects versions prior to PLAT 7.3 (E0705P07) and enables complete system compromise.

MitigationUpgrade HPE Intelligent Management Center to PLAT 7.3 (E0705P07) or later to remediate this expression language injection leading to remote code execution.

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. Confirm HPE Intelligent Management Center is installed
    Check for iMC installation directory, typically under C:\Program Files\HPE or C:\HP, or look for iMC services running on the system using 'services.msc' for 'HPE Intelligent Management Center' or similar service names
    Affected if iMC is installed and running on the system
  2. Identify the installed iMC version
    Locate the version information in the iMC installation directory, commonly found in a version file, about dialog, or in the imc/home/web/etc or similar configuration directory. The version may also be visible in the iMC web console login page or in registry keys under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Hewlett-Packard\iMC if present
    Affected if The installed version is lower than 7.3 or equals 7.3 (any version prior to PLAT 7.3 E0705P07)
  3. Verify the vulnerable viewbatchtaskresultdetailfact component exists
    Check if the web application exposes the viewbatchtaskresultdetailfact endpoint. This is typically accessible via the iMC web interface at paths like /imc/operation/ or similar operation-related URLs. Use a web browser or curl to attempt accessing the endpoint: https://<iMC-server>/imc/viewbatchtaskresultdetailfact or check the deployed WAR files in the web application directory for this component
    Affected if The viewbatchtaskresultdetailfact component is present and exposed via the web interface
  4. Confirm iMC web interface is remotely accessible
    Verify that the HPE iMC web console is accessible over the network by attempting to reach the default HTTPS port (usually 8443 or 8080) from the target server or an authorized system. Check firewall rules and iMC server binding configuration
    Affected if The iMC web interface is reachable from network locations, enabling external attackers to reach the vulnerable endpoint

If HPE Intelligent Management Center is installed with a version lower than or equal to 7.3 (prior to PLAT 7.3 E0705P07) and the web interface with the viewbatchtaskresultdetailfact component is exposed, the system is affected by CVE-2020-7184 and vulnerable to remote code execution via expression language injection.
