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
An HPE OneView appliance dump may expose proxy credential settings

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 HPE OneView appliance support or debug dump file stores proxy credentials in an insecure manner, potentially exposing authentication credentials for proxy servers configured in the appliance. Anyone with access to the dump file can retrieve these credentials in plain text or weakly protected form.

MitigationRestrict access to appliance dump files and treat them as sensitive. Rotate any proxy credentials that may have been exposed. Verify dumps created during support engagements are handled securely and deleted after use.

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

Affected products & versions What the vendor confirmedThe version ranges the vendor confirmed as vulnerable. If your version sits inside a range here, treat yourself as exposed until you have upgraded.

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 appliance version
    Log into the HPE OneView web interface and navigate to the About section, or use the OneView CLI/REST API to retrieve the appliance version information. Compare the installed version against the affected ranges: versions prior to 6.60.04 or versions prior to 8.2.
    Affected if The installed version is lower than 6.60.04 or lower than 8.2
  2. Determine if proxy server is configured
    Review the HPE OneView appliance network or proxy settings through the web interface under Settings > Network or Settings > Proxy. Check whether a proxy server with authentication is configured for outbound connections.
    Affected if A proxy server requiring authentication is configured on the appliance
  3. Locate support or debug dump files
    Check the appliance for any stored support dumps or debug bundles. These are typically found in the appliance file system under paths such as /dump or accessible through the OneView interface under Support > Dump. Review any dump files created for troubleshooting or support engagements.
    Affected if Any support or debug dump files exist on the appliance or were exported
  4. Inspect dump file contents for credentials
    If dump files exist, examine their contents for stored proxy credentials. Look for configuration files, XML, JSON, or plain text files within the dump archive that may contain proxy server usernames and passwords in cleartext or weakly encoded form.
    Affected if Dump files contain proxy credentials in plain text or in a weakly protected form such as base64 encoding

You are affected if your HPE OneView version is below 6.60.04 or below 8.2, and proxy authentication credentials were included in any support or debug dump files created on the appliance.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 6.60.04 / 8.2 or later
Fixed in 6.60.048.2
Interim mitigation

Restrict access to appliance dump files and treat them as sensitive. Rotate any proxy credentials that may have been exposed. Verify dumps created during support engagements are handled securely and deleted after use.

Recommended fix High confidence

HPE OneView 6.60.04 or later in 6.x line; HPE OneView 8.2 or later in 8.x line

  1. 1. Back up the current HPE OneView appliance configuration before performing any upgrade
  2. 2. Download the HPE OneView 6.60.04 or later (for 6.x line) OR version 8.2 or later (for 8.x line) from support.hpe.com
  3. 3. Follow HPE OneView upgrade documentation to apply the firmware update
  4. 4. Verify the upgrade completed successfully by checking the OneView version in the appliance UI
  5. 5. Confirm that appliance dumps no longer expose proxy credentials by reviewing a test dump if available
Caveat Review HPE OneView upgrade guide for compatibility requirements and ensure backup before upgrading
