Authenticated command injection via crafted IPMI commands
Published Sep 13, 2024 · Updated Sep 13, 2024
Command injection in Lenovo XClarity Controller firmware allows remote authenticated users with elevated privileges to execute OS commands via IPMI. Lenovo identifies specially crafted IPMI commands as the input but has not disclosed the affected handler or exact neutralization failure. Exploitation requires an elevated XCC account and grants command execution in the management controller, affecting its confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
