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 confidenceA local unauthorized read access to files vulnerability exists in HPE OneView versions prior to 6.6, allowing a local attacker to read sensitive files on the system without proper authorization.

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.
-
Check HPE OneView appliance versionLog into the HPE OneView web interface and navigate to the About page (usually found under Settings > About or via the user profile), or use the OneView CLI (hpocfg -g or similar) to retrieve the installed version.Affected if The displayed version number is lower than 6.6 (for example, 6.5, 6.4, 6.3, etc.)
-
Query OneView API for versionUse the HPE OneView REST API endpoint (GET /rest/version) or the oneview-ansible library to programmatically retrieve the appliance version.Affected if The API response shows a version field with a value below 6.6.
-
Check OneView CLI version outputRun the command 'hponcfg -g' or 'oneview-cli -version' if available on the management station, or access the iLO integrated remote console to view system information.Affected if The reported version is any release prior to 6.6.
You are affected if the installed HPE OneView version is below 6.6, as this vulnerability allows unauthorized local file read access on unpatched versions.
