Supermicro BMC (IPMI web interface, XSS): Stored/reflected script injection in the BMC web UI

CVE-2023-40284Firmware, BMC & network fabriccurated

Impact

Stored/reflected script injection in the BMC web UI. On its own it is 'just XSS', but on a BMC the session it hijacks is the one that can mount virtual media, power-cycle the node and flash firmware - so it is the entry step of a full out-of-band takeover chain rather than a cosmetic web bug.

Who can reach it

Requires an operator to load an attacker-influenced BMC page. Any engineer who administers BMCs from a browser is the target, and the attacker only needs to be able to plant content the BMC will render.

What to do

BMC firmware flash per board. Until then, treat BMC web access as a privileged action: dedicated browser profile or jump host, never the same browser session used for general web browsing, and no BMC on a routable network.
