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 · uneditedHPE OneView virtual appliance "Migrate server hardware" option may expose sensitive information in an HPE OneView support dump
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 confidenceIn HPE OneView virtual appliance, the 'Migrate server hardware' feature has an information disclosure vulnerability where sensitive data may be written to support dump files. An attacker with access to these dumps could obtain the exposed sensitive information.

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.
-
Verify HPE OneView versionCheck the installed HPE OneView virtual appliance version and compare it against the affected range: 7.0 through 8.1Affected if The installed version falls within >= 7.0 and <= 8.1
-
Identify use of Migrate server hardware featureReview HPE OneView logs, audit trails, or configuration records to determine whether the 'Migrate server hardware' feature has been usedAffected if The feature was invoked, causing sensitive data to potentially be written to dump files
-
Locate support dump filesAccess the support dump storage location on the HPE OneView appliance and enumerate any dump files presentAffected if Support dump files exist on the system
-
Check access to support dumpsReview file permissions and access logs for the support dump directory to determine if unauthorized access may have occurredAffected if Support dumps are accessible to unauthorized users or have been accessed by unexpected accounts
A user is affected if their HPE OneView version is between 7.0 and 8.1, the Migrate server hardware feature was used, and sensitive data may have been written to accessible support dump files.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedApply the HPE OneView patch when available. Until patched, restrict access to support dumps and monitor for unauthorized access to these files.
