On 3 September 2019 Supermicro disclosed vulnerabilities in the Virtual Media function of their Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) found in the Supermicro X9, X10 and X11 platforms. Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities may allow a remote actor to gain unauthorized access to the Virtual Media function.
Administrators should ensure BMC access is restricted to only an isolated private network.
