Unauthenticated adjacent code execution and service interruption
Published Sep 20, 2022 · Updated May 29, 2025
An undisclosed flaw in HPE Integrated Lights-Out 5 before 2.72 allows attackers to execute code or interrupt iLO via an adjacent network. HPE has not published the affected firmware component or the operation it performs incorrectly on untrusted input. No authentication or user interaction is required, and exploitation can compromise data or cause an otherwise unspecified denial of service.
