An authentication bypass in OpenBMC's phosphor-net-ipmid IPMI stack lets a network attacker with no credentials complete IPMI 2.0 RAKP session authentication and obtain full BMC control. A crafted RAKP Message 1 forces the handler to return before the authentication object's constructor defaults are overwritten, so the service accepts a RAKP Message 3 whose HMAC is keyed with the hard-coded 20-byte 'userKey' derived from the string '0penBmc' combined with an often-predictable 'bmcRandomNum'. The flaw affects downstream vendors that ship phosphor-net-ipmid as their IPMI implementation, including NVIDIA and H3C, and runZero published a public advisory; no CISA KEV entry or EPSS score was supplied, and no patched version was identified in the provided data.

DescriptionCVE.org
OpenBMC's IPMI implementation, phosphor-net-ipmid, contains a logic flaw in which an unauthenticated client can force the RAKP Message 1 handler to return before it overwrites the authentication object's constructor defaults. The IPMI service then accepts a RAKP Message 3 whose HMAC is computed with the constant 20-byte 'userKey' initialized from the string '0penBmc' and an often-predictable 'bmcRandomNum'. Several downstream vendors implement phosphor-net-ipmid as their IPMI stack, such as NVIDIA and H3C.
