IBM OpenBMC FW1060.00 through FW1060.80 is affected by a vulnerability in the BMC firmware update process. An attacker with authenticated administrator-level access to the BMC can, under specific conditions, execute arbitrary code, resulting in a confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact.
AnalysisAI
Arbitrary code execution in IBM OpenBMC FW1060.00 through FW1060.80 is achievable via a path traversal flaw (CWE-22) in the BMC firmware update process, resulting in full confidentiality, integrity, and availability compromise of the baseboard management controller. Exploitation is constrained to authenticated administrators with adjacent network access to the BMC management interface, substantially limiting the real-world attack surface despite the high CIA impact. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires all of the following to be simultaneously true: (1) the attacker must hold authenticated administrator-level credentials for the IBM OpenBMC interface - CVSS PR:H confirms that high-privilege authentication is a hard prerequisite, not merely a risk-reducing factor; (2) the BMC firmware version must fall within FW1060.00 through FW1060.80; (3) the attacker must be positioned on the adjacent network segment hosting the BMC management interface (CVSS AV:A), typically an isolated IPMI or out-of-band management VLAN not reachable from the internet; (4) the firmware update feature must be accessible through the BMC interface, which is standard functionality and not a non-default configuration. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.8 (Medium) accurately reflects a constrained but high-impact risk profile. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Apply the vendor-released patch referenced in the IBM security advisory at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7283590 - the exact patched firmware version was not specified in the available input data and must be confirmed directly from that advisory page before deployment. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
