The IPMI 1.5 functionality in Dell iDRAC6 modular before 3.65, iDRAC6 monolithic before 1.98, and iDRAC7 before 1.57.57 does not properly select session ID values, which makes it easier for remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a brute-force attack.
Conclusion & alert: CVE-2014-8272 is rated High Exploit Risk (74.4/100): CVSS Medium severity, with high exploitation likelihood (EPSS 59.58%, 98th percentile). Core evidence: 2 public exploit reference(s) are indexed (Exploit-DB). EPSS rose +6.15% over the last day, indicating growing attacker interest. Mandatory action: Public exploits are available—assess exposure, apply mitigations, and prioritize patching.
Risk is dynamic; we continuously reassess and refresh what is shown on this page as upstream context changes.
