Authenticated command execution via hardcoded configuration key
Published Dec 7, 2023 · Updated Jul 9, 2026
Remote code execution in Supermicro IPMI BMC firmware through 3.17.02 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands. The configuration import path relies on hardcoded encryption keys, enabling a user with the keys to craft and upload a malicious configuration package that the BMC accepts. Valid BMC credentials and network access to the administrative interface are required; successful exploitation runs attacker-supplied commands on the management controller.
