CVE-2024-11622
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 · uneditedAn XML external entity injection (XXE) vulnerability in HPE Insight Remote Support may allow remote users to disclose information in certain cases.
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 confidenceAn XML external entity injection (XXE) vulnerability in HPE Insight Remote Support allows remote attackers to inject malicious XML containing external entity references to potentially disclose sensitive files or perform server-side request forgery (SSRF) against internal systems.

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 Insight Remote Support is installedCheck for the presence of HPE Insight Remote Support software on the system. This may be listed in installed programs (Windows: Add/Remove Programs, Linux: package manager), or the application may be accessible via a web interface on common ports such as 50070 or 8443.Affected if The software is found to be installed and running.
-
Identify the installed versionLocate the version information for HPE Insight Remote Support. This is typically accessible through the web interface (usually under Help > About or System Information), or via command line if using a local installation. Check configuration files or registry entries for version metadata.Affected if A version number is returned from the system.
-
Compare version against affected rangeCompare the installed version number to the affected range: versions prior to 7.14.0.629 are vulnerable. For example, versions like 7.14.0.0 through 7.14.0.628 would be affected, while 7.14.0.629 and later are not.Affected if The installed version is lower than 7.14.0.629.
-
Confirm XML input processing is accessibleIdentify whether the application exposes functionality that processes XML input. Look for features such as XML-based configuration import, XML report generation, or API endpoints that accept XML payloads. Review application logs and network traffic if accessible.Affected if The application processes or accepts XML input from users or external sources.
If HPE Insight Remote Support is installed and the version is below 7.14.0.629, the environment is affected by this XXE vulnerability.

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 · scoped7.14.0.629
Disable external entity processing and DTD processing in XML parsers, implement strict input validation for XML documents, and apply vendor patches when released. Consider using less complex data formats like JSON where possible.
7.14.0.629 or later
- 1. Identify the current version of HPE Insight Remote Support installed in your environment
- 2. Navigate to the HPE Support Center at support.hpe.com
- 3. Search for "Insight Remote Support" and locate version 7.14.0.629 or later
- 4. Download the upgrade package for your platform
- 5. Follow HPE's standard upgrade procedure for Insight Remote Support, ensuring proper backup of existing configurations
- 6. Apply the upgrade to all affected instances
- 7. Verify the installation by checking that the version is now 7.14.0.629 or higher
- 8. Test that normal Insight Remote Support functionality is operational
