Code execution via arbitrary IPMI process memory writes
Published Jun 12, 2023 · Updated Jan 3, 2025
Memory corruption in AMI MegaRAC SP-X 12.0 before 12.7 and 13.0 before 13.5 allows remote authenticated users to execute code via the SPX REST API. The API accepts attacker-controlled memory locations and performs arbitrary reads and writes within the IPMI server process without constraining those accesses to valid buffers. A high-privilege account and network access to the management interface are required; successful writes can alter data, crash the service, or redirect execution.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=12.0 <12.7
- Affected versionversion=13.0 <13.5
