HPE Screws Up Royally – Another Fine Day in the IT Security Inferno

Well, well, well… what a shocker. Hewlett bloody Packard Enterprise (HPE) just dropped another flaming turd of an announcement, warning everyone that their precious OneView software has a **maximum severity remote code execution flaw**. That’s right — some genius-level screw-up that basically lets attackers waltz right into your system and run whatever godforsaken code they fancy. Because who *doesn’t* love handing over the keys to the damn kingdom, right?

This gem of a vulnerability gets the royal CVSS treatment — a beautiful 10 out of 10, meaning it’s about as bad as it can f***ing get. In short: if you’re running OneView versions before 8.6, congratulations, you’re hosting an open bar for hackers. The fix? Upgrade that dumpster fire to 8.6 immediately. You know, because the answer to poor coding is always “install the new version and pray we didn’t screw that one up too.”

Apparently, the issue happens thanks to the software’s **crappy input validation**, leading to shell command injection. Meaning some malicious bastard could, from afar, pop your system like a balloon at a kid’s party. HPE’s advice? Update and restrict access — which is basically IT’s version of “turn it off and on again,” but with more panic and sweat.

To sum it up: HPE managed to craft yet another fiasco where your infrastructure turns into an all-you-can-pwn buffet. Same story, different logo. If you’re still running an old version, stop reading this, grab some coffee, and fix your damn systems before someone with a hoodie and a smirk makes your weekend miserable.

Reminds me of the time some idiot user called me saying “the server isn’t responding” after they’d unplugged it to charge their phone. I told them to try plugging it back in and see if the electrons come back out to play. Some days I really wonder why I bother.
