Quote:Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) is urging customers to patch one of its premier edge application management tools that could allow an attacker to carry out a remote authentication bypass attack and infiltrate a customer’s cloud infrastructure.
 
Rated critical, with a CVSS score of 9.8, the bug impacts all versions of HPE’s Edgeline Infrastructure Manager (EIM) prior to version 1.21. EIM is the company’s two-year-old edge computing-management suite. Users are urged to update to HPE EIM v1.22 or later to fix the bug.
 
Researchers at Tenable first identified the vulnerability (CVE-2021-29203) in late January, notifying HPE on February 1 of the critical bug. HPE released fixes for bug on Thursday.
