The Supermicro BMC implementation allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary IPMI commands by using cipher suite 0 (aka cipher zero) and an arbitrary password.
Does this matter?
EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 26.2%, higher than 98% of all known CVEs. Patch or mitigate before the next change window.
