Virtual Media Vulnerability in BMC Opens Servers to Remote Attack

At the time of writing, we found at least 47,000 systems with their BMCs exposed to the Internet. The same issues can be easily exploited by attackers who gain access to a corporate network. The problem stems from several issues in the way that BMCs on Supermicro X9, X10 and X11 platforms implement virtual media, an ability to remotely connect a disk image as a virtual USB CD-ROM or floppy drive. When accessed remotely, the virtual media service allows plaintext authentication, sends most traffic unencrypted, uses a weak encryption algorithm for the rest, and is susceptible to an authentication bypass.”]
