CVE-2024-13804Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated code execution via client-side authorization checks

Published Mar 30, 2025 · Updated Mar 31, 2025

Improper authentication in HPE Insight Cluster Management Utility 8.2 allows remote attackers to execute commands on the management node. The Java GUI enforces administrative access only through client-side isAdmin checks, while its Java RMI backend exposes ExecuteCmdLine without equivalent server-side authorization. Network access to the CMU server on TCP port 1099 is sufficient, and successful exploitation runs commands as root with control of the managed cluster.
