Researchers at the industrial cybersecurity company Nozomi Networks have identified more than a dozen vulnerabilities in the baseboard management controller (BMC) firmware.
Using a specialized processor called a BMC, administrators can remotely manage and watch over a device without having access to its operating system or installed applications. A device can be rebooted, an operating system installed, the firmware updated, system parameters monitored, and logs analyzed using the BMC vulnerability.
