An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-8979 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Hewlett Packard Enterprise Integrated Lights-Out 2 (iLO 2). No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-8979/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-8979/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-8979","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-8979/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-8979","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-x3xr-3gr5-982m"],"analysis":{"component_type":"hardware_firmware","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"HPE iLO 2 firmware","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can bypass authentication to execute code or cause denial of service on HPE iLO 2 firmware.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"hpe","cpe":[{"product":"integrated_lights-out_2_firmware","vendor":"hp"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"Security vulnerabilities in the HPE Integrated Lights-Out 2 (iLO 2) firmware could be exploited remotely to allow authentication bypass, code execution, and denial of service.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Auth bypass in Integrated Lights-Out 2 (iLO 2)","id":"CVE-2017-8979","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in Intelligent Management Center (iMC) PLAT","id":"CVE-2017-8980"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in IceWall Products","id":"CVE-2017-8978"},"products":["Integrated Lights-Out 2 (iLO 2)"],"published":"2018-02-15","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-7876","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-03-31"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-2601","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-04-24"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Information disclosure in Integrated Lights-Out 4","id":"CVE-2017-12543","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-02-15"},{"cvss_score":6.4,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-2106","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-03-31"},{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"Information disclosure in Windows firmware installer for Gen9, Gen8, G7,and G6 HPE servers","id":"CVE-2018-7112","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-12-03"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-17","vendors":["Hewlett Packard Enterprise"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can bypass authentication to execute code or cause denial of service on HPE iLO 2 firmware.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-8979/"}
