A severe remote code execution vulnerability has been discovered in the Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) OneView management suite. Cybersecurity experts have emphasized the critical nature of this issue, recommending immediate action to patch the vulnerability. Curtis Dukes, the executive VP for security best practices at the Center for Internet Security, stated that the vulnerability’s severity ranks as a ’10’ on the scale, highlighting the risk posed by an unauthenticated user being able to exploit it.
This flaw affects all recent versions of the OneView software, which serves as a central hub for managing IT infrastructures across various organizations. Dukes warned that malicious actors are likely aware of this vulnerability and may already be developing an exploit.
According to HPE’s advisory, which identifies the issue as CVE-2025-37164, all versions from 5.20 to 10.20 are affected. An urgent security hotfix is available to address the vulnerability. However, it is vital that the hotfix is reapplied following any upgrades from version 6.60.xx to 7.00.00 or after reimaging an HPE Synergy Composer.
HPE has provided separate hotfixes for both the HPE OneView virtual appliance and the HPE Synergy Composer. To mitigate the risk until the patch is applied, Jack Bicer, director of vulnerability research at Action1, recommends restricting network access to the OneView management interface solely to trusted administrative networks.
HPE OneView simplifies the lifecycle management of infrastructure, allowing for streamlined provisioning of resources across compute, storage, and networking through a unified API. The solution supports a range of operational optimizations, ensuring reliability and control for IT departments.
Previously, a significant vulnerability was reported in June, related to local privilege escalation specifically affecting OneView for VMware vCenter. This flaw allowed users with read-only access to elevate their privileges.
It is essential for organizations using HPE OneView to prioritize the application of these patches to protect against potential exploits that can arise from this critical vulnerability.
