Technical Analysis

I found many many servers, during penetration testing, on corporate environment that have an integrated HPE iLO 4.
It seems the default version of the firmware shipped with the server is 2.50 which make it vulnerable by default because it’s rarely patched.
Then it’s a mater of seconds to get an administrator account on the iLO.
