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-2026-79842 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Hewlett Packard Enterprise HPE Intelligent Management Center (iMC). 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-2026-79842/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-79842/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-79842","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-79842/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-79842","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-6p2m-8pgg-gvw7"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Network management software","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can bypass authentication in HPE Intelligent Management Center, gaining unauthorized access to the network management system.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"hpe","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":9.1,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"}],"description":"An authentication bypass vulnerability exists in HPE Intelligent Management Center (iMC) prior to v7.3 E0713","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 HPE Intelligent Management Center (iMC)","id":"CVE-2026-79842","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"HPE NonStop SQL/MX EXE - out-of-bounds read vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-79843"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"HPE NonStop RDMA SERVICES NSK - Out-of-bounds memory write vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-79841"},"products":["HPE Intelligent Management Center (iMC)"],"published":"2026-10-08","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-10","vendors":["Hewlett Packard Enterprise"]},"summary":"Attackers can bypass authentication in HPE Intelligent Management Center, gaining unauthorized access to the network management system.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-79842/"}
