Remote authentication bypass via alternate unauthenticated path
Published Dec 19, 2023 · Updated May 7, 2025
Authentication bypass in HPE Integrated Lights-Out 5 2.63 and later before 3.00 and 6 1.05 and later before 1.55 allows remote attackers access. The public record identifies an alternate unauthenticated path or channel but does not disclose the affected endpoint or request-handling error. Exploitation requires network reachability and high-complexity conditions; the exact management functions reachable after bypass remain undisclosed.

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=iLO 5 - v2.63 through versions prior to v3.00
- Affected versionversion=iLO 6 - v1.05 through versions prior to v1.55
