2002 Flaw in Server Management Chips Exposes Data Centers
A 22-year-old vulnerability in baseboard management controllers (BMCs) allows offline password cracking, potentially leading to full server takeover. Researchers found thousands of internet-exposed BMCs from major vendors remain unpatched. Attackers are actively exploiting the flaw to gain persistent access to data center servers.
