Security News > 2021 > May > HPE Fixes Critical Zero-Day in Server Management Software
Hewlett Packard Enterprise has fixed a critical zero-day remote code execution flaw in its HPE Systems Insight Manager software for Windows that it originally disclosed in December.
HPE SIM is a tool that enables remote support automation and management for a variety of HPE servers, including the HPE ProLiant Gen10 and HPE ProLiant Gen9, as well as for storage and networking products.
More than a month ago, on April 20, HPE had issued an earlier SIM hotfix update kit that resolves the vulnerability.
"This module exploits this vulnerability by leveraging an outdated copy of Commons Collection, namely 3.2.2, that ships with HPE SIM, to gain remote code execution as the administrative user running HPE SIM," according to Packet Storm.
Wait for HPE SIM web page "Https://SIM IP:50000" to be accessible and execute the following command from command prompt: mxtool -r -f toolsmulti-cms-search.
HPE SIM users will no longer be able to use the federated search feature after using the workaround.
