Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) OneView vulnerability
HPE OneView contains a code injection vulnerability (CWE-94) allowing remote unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected systems.
Verdict
Today item — known-exploited.
A remote code execution flaw in HPE OneView enables unauthenticated attackers to inject and execute malicious code. With an EPSS score of 0.796 and confirmed active exploitation, this poses immediate risk to infrastructure management systems.

01
Is it exploitable?
— the evidence, ranked above the scoreExploit available
Fully weaponized — public exploit code is cataloged for this vulnerability.We link the existence of the exploit; we do not host or redistribute payloads.
Reported exploitation
20 independent public reports of in-the-wild exploitation are cataloged.Distinct reporting sources (vendor, incident response, government); open them for the underlying claims.
Exploited in the wild
Listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog (added 2026-01-07).
Probability (EPSS)
EPSS 0.89733 — modeled likelihood of exploitation activity.EPSS is a daily-changing model output — open the source for today's value.
Severity / affected
CVSS 10 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H) · Affected: Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), OneView. Confirm exact fixed builds in the vendor advisory.CVSS — CNA-assigned (CVE.org), version 3.1, set at disclosure.
Weakness (CWE)
Mapped to CWE-94 Code Injection — weakness family: Injection.CWE assignment from the public NVD record (may be stale); the weakness class drives how the flaw is exploited.
CISA SSVC (triage disposition)
Exploitation: active · Automatable: yes · Technical Impact: totalCISA's own stakeholder-specific triage inputs, published in the CVE record (CISA Coordinator role). NOTE: this is CISA's three decision points; the final Act/Attend/Track decision also requires a Mission & Well-being input not published here, so no overall decision is asserted.
Currency of the record
CISA added this to its KEV catalog 22 days after the CVE record was published.KEV lag = CISA-KEV dateAdded − CVE.org datePublished; a floor on how long the known-exploited flaw sat in the public record before the federal catalog listed it. Severity/weakness here is CNA- or CISA-assigned (current at disclosure), independent of NVD's analysis backlog.
Public exploit available
Public exploit tooling is catalogued for this CVE (a functional/weaponized public exploit). Catalog entries: Metasploit module, nuclei template. We link the catalog page(s) only — no payload or code is hosted or restated here.Link, never host — the catalog page is the source; basicsecurity.net does not redistribute payloads.

Who’s exploiting it?
— attribution turns risk into urgencyAttribution not established
No confirmed (advisory-backed) threat-actor attribution is established for this record. Absence of a named actor is not absence of compromise — see Coverage & confidence.
03
Why it matters
— the attack path, told twice: adversary, then board1
Front door — unauthenticated access narrative 1
Attacker
I craft a malicious payload exploiting the code injection flaw and send it to an exposed OneView instance without authentication.
Business
Attackers gain direct code execution on critical infrastructure management systems, enabling lateral movement and persistent access.
2
Keys to the kingdom — privilege/identity takeover narrative 2
Attacker
I execute commands with the privileges of the OneView application to enumerate the environment and identify high-value targets.
Business
Compromise of OneView exposes credentials, configuration data, and management interfaces for connected HPE infrastructure.
3
Lateral reach — past segmentation narrative 3
Attacker
I establish persistence and pivot to managed servers, storage, and networking equipment through OneView's administrative access.
Business
Attackers achieve control over enterprise data center infrastructure, enabling data theft, service disruption, or supply chain compromise.
04
What to do
— defensible action- Remediate per the vendor advisory — confirm the fixed build for your version and verify exposure.1
Say it to the boardA vulnerability with this evidence profile is a defensible budget line, not a backlog ticket — fund the change against the proof above.
