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
HPE OneView and HPE OneView Global Dashboard appliance dumps may expose authentication tokens

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

HPE OneView and HPE OneView Global Dashboard appliances generate support or diagnostic dumps that inadvertently include authentication tokens. An attacker with access to these dump files could extract valid authentication tokens and use them for unauthorized access to the appliance.

MitigationEnsure dump files are generated with sensitive data (authentication tokens, credentials, secrets) filtered or excluded; rotate any tokens that may have been exposed in existing dumps; restrict access to dump files.

Verify against the referenced sources before acting — the references below are authoritative for this CVE, this summary is not.

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. Identify HPE OneView version
    Access the appliance CLI or web interface and retrieve the installed version number from the About or System Information section
    Affected if The installed version is less than 6.60.04, OR is 7.0 or higher but less than 8.2
  2. Identify HPE OneView Global Dashboard version
    Access the appliance and check the version from the About or System Information page
    Affected if The installed version is less than 2.72
  3. Locate diagnostic dump files
    Search for support dump files using the appliance file system or management interface where dumps are stored. Common locations include /tmp, /opt, or dedicated dump directories
    Affected if Dump files exist on the system and were created during affected versions
  4. Check dump file permissions
    Review file system permissions on any found dump files to determine if unauthorized users could have read access
    Affected if Dump files have overly permissive access controls allowing unauthorized read access
  5. Audit access logs for dump file retrieval
    Review appliance audit or access logs for commands or requests to download or access support dumps, especially from unexpected sources or IP addresses
    Affected if There are log entries indicating dump files were accessed by unexpected users or systems
  6. Check for unauthorized session activity
    Review active sessions and authentication logs for uses of tokens that may have originated from dump file extraction, looking for anomalies such as unexpected IP addresses, times, or users
    Affected if There are authentication events that correlate with potential token exposure from dump files

The environment is affected if HPE OneView version is below 6.60.04, between 7.0 and 8.1.x, or HPE OneView Global Dashboard is below 2.72, AND dump files created during those versions exist on the system.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 2.72 / 6.60.04 / 8.2 or later
Fixed in 2.726.60.048.2
Interim mitigation

Ensure dump files are generated with sensitive data (authentication tokens, credentials, secrets) filtered or excluded; rotate any tokens that may have been exposed in existing dumps; restrict access to dump files.

Recommended fix High confidence

HPE OneView: upgrade to 6.60.04 or 8.2+ | HPE OneView Global Dashboard: upgrade to 2.72+

  1. Identify the HPE OneView appliance version currently running
  2. For HPE OneView: Plan upgrade to version 6.60.04 (if currently on 5.x/6.x branch) OR upgrade to version 8.2 or later (if currently on 7.x branch)
  3. For HPE OneView Global Dashboard: Plan upgrade to version 2.72 or later
  4. Review HPE OneView upgrade documentation for prerequisites and backup procedures
  5. Perform a complete backup of the current appliance configuration
  6. Execute the upgrade following HPE's documented upgrade procedure for the chosen target version
  7. After upgrade, verify the appliance is functioning correctly
  8. For additional security, consider rotating any authentication tokens that may have been exposed
Caveat Review HPE release notes for the target version for any breaking changes or deprecated features before upgrading
