Firmware modification via bypassed signature verification
Published Feb 4, 2025 · Updated Feb 4, 2025
Improper firmware authentication in Supermicro X12DPG-OA6 BMC firmware 1.04.16 allows remote authenticated users to install modified firmware. The image-authentication design accepts attacker-modified firmware without enforcing BMC inspection and cryptographic signature verification. Administrator-level BMC access is required; successful exploitation installs attacker-modified code in the management controller.

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.
