A critical vulnerability, CVE-2024-540385, has been found in HPE Cray XD670 servers using the AMI BMC Redfish API, allowing remote authentication bypass. Administrators must act quickly to prevent the exploitation.
According to HPE’s security bulletin, “This vulnerability could be remotely exploited to allow authentication bypass.” An attacker could gain unauthorized access to the server’s baseboard management controller (BMC) without valid credentials. This is serious because the BMC allows for system management tasks like power control, remote console access, and hardware monitoring.
