CVE-2022-28629

Low-privileged local arbitrary code execution

Published Aug 11, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Local code execution in HPE Integrated Lights-Out 5 firmware before 2.71 allows low-privileged local users to execute arbitrary code. HPE has not published the affected firmware component or the operation that mishandles attacker-controlled input. Successful exploitation crosses the iLO privilege boundary and permits code execution with complete loss of confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
