MEDIUM 6.8EPSS 0.37%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.37%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

IBM OpenBMC FW1060.00 through FW1060.80 is affected by a vulnerability in the BMC firmware update process. An attacker with authenticated administrator-level access to the BMC can, under specific conditions, execute arbitrary code, resulting in a confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact.
