HPE OneView Sets New Record for ‘Oh Shit’ Moment: CVSS 10.0 Flaw Lets Anyone Wreck the Joint

Well, buckle the hell up, because HPE just managed to win this week’s “How the Fuck Did That Get Through QA?” award. Their fancy-ass HPE OneView software — the thing meant to make server management all neat and tidy — has apparently been moonlighting as a wide-open front door for any script kiddie with half a brain and a grudge. Yep, you read that right: unauthenticated remote code execution. CVSS 10.0. That’s right — maximum fucking destruction potential.

Basically, the flaw lets some random internet goblin waltz straight into your systems and run whatever the hell they want — no password, no handshake, no dinner first, just “hello, I own your network now.” If your OneView instance is exposed to the internet, congratulations, you’ve just volunteered to be part of someone’s botnet or crypto mining empire. Maybe they’ll even rename your servers something cute like owned_by_me_you_noob.

HPE, in their infinite wisdom, has released a patch. Because of course they did — after the barn burned down, they figured out how to install a damn door lock. Meanwhile, sysadmins everywhere are scrambling, swearing, and questioning their life choices as they scramble to patch this digital dumpster fire before some asshole decides to encrypt everything for ransom.

So yeah, if you’re running HPE OneView and haven’t patched yet, stop reading this shit and do it right now — unless you enjoy seeing your servers dance to someone else’s tune. And for the love of all that’s holy, stop exposing management interfaces directly to the goddamn internet. It’s not rocket science, it’s basic sanity.

For the poor souls who want to read the full catastrophe in a calm, journalistic tone, here’s your bedtime story:

Reminds me of the time I left an open telnet port on a “secure” test device. Some genius decided to use it as a playground for running a bloody IRC bot. The boss asked how it happened — I said it was “user testing.” He didn’t laugh. But I did.
