This information is made available for download through an SFTP server hosted on the IMM2 management network interface. In versions earlier than 4.90 for Lenovo System x and earlier than 6.80 for IBM System x, the credentials to access the SFTP server are hard-coded and described in the IMM2 documentation, allowing an attacker with management network access to obtain the collected FFDC data. After applying the update, the IMM2 will create random SFTP credentials for use with OneCLI.","published":"2018-07-26T19:29:00.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-17T02:06:01.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"psirt@lenovo.com","cvss":{"version":"3.0","score":7.5,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N"},"cwe":["CWE-798"],"affected":["lenovo/flex system x240 m4 firmware","lenovo/flex system x240 m5 firmware","lenovo/flex system x280 x6 firmware","lenovo/flex system x440 m4 firmware","lenovo/flex system x480 x6 firmware","lenovo/flex system x880 firmware","lenovo/nextscale nx360 m5 firmware","lenovo/system x3250 m6 firmware","lenovo/system x3500 m5 firmware","lenovo/system x3550 m5 firmware","lenovo/system x3650 m5 firmware","lenovo/system x3750 m4 firmware","lenovo/system x3850 x6 firmware","lenovo/system x3950 x6 firmware","ibm/bladecenter hs22 firmware","ibm/bladecenter hs23 firmware","ibm/bladecenter hs23e firmware","ibm/flex system x220 m4 firmware","ibm/flex system x222 m4 firmware","ibm/flex system x240 m4 firmware","ibm/flex system x280 m4 firmware","ibm/flex system x440 m4 firmware","ibm/flex system x480 m4 firmware","ibm/flex system x880 m4 firmware","ibm/idataplex dx360 m4 firmware","ibm/idataplex dx360 m4 water cooled firmware","ibm/nextscale nx360 m4 firmware","ibm/system x3100 m4 firmware","ibm/system x3100 m5 firmware","ibm/system x3250 m4 firmware","ibm/system x3250 m5 firmware","ibm/system x3300 m4 firmware","ibm/system x3500 m4 firmware","ibm/system x3530 m4 firmware","ibm/system x3550 m4 firmware","ibm/system x3630 m4 firmware","ibm/system x3650 m4 firmware","ibm/system x3650 m4 bd firmware","ibm/system x3650 m4 hd firmware","ibm/system x3750 m4 firmware","ibm/system x3850 x6 firmware","ibm/system x3950 x6 firmware"],"epss":{"score":0.01053,"percentile":0.64186,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.05%).
