Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

A remote authentication bypass vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2023-30909, affects certain APIs in HPE OneView. The flaw carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8 and is associated with CWE-294, indicating an authentication mechanism that can be circumvented over the network without requiring credentials or user interaction.

An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit the issue to bypass authentication controls on the exposed APIs. Successful exploitation grants the attacker full read, write, and delete access to affected resources, resulting in complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

HPE has published advisory hpesbgn04538en_us, which details the affected OneView versions and provides remediation guidance, including available software updates and configuration changes to address the authentication bypass.

The EPSS score for this CVE has remained flat at 0.0541 since disclosure, indicating no material increase in observed exploitation interest.

Likely Mitigating Controls AI

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.

addresses: CWE-294

Allows detection of capture-replay attacks by showing the replayed logon's timestamp as the last logon.

addresses: CWE-294

Protects against replay of captured session tokens or credentials by requiring authenticated, fresh session channels.

addresses: CWE-294

Wireless link protections commonly incorporate replay protection, reducing the exploitability of capture-replay weaknesses.

addresses: CWE-294

Accurate synchronized time enables tight timestamp windows that directly limit capture-replay windows in authentication protocols.
