Over 24,000 exposed server BMCs leak password hash via decades-old flaw
July 27, 2026
Back to all postsRecent research has uncovered a security vulnerability affecting over 24,000 servers worldwide, including many in Canada. The issue lies within the Baseboard Management Controllers (BMCs) used for out-of-band management of servers and other devices. This decades-old flaw allows an attacker to extract password hashes, potentially gaining unauthorized access to these systems. As BMCs often have administrative privileges, a breach could lead to widespread damage within a network. Given the prevalence of this vulnerability among Canadian businesses, it is crucial for SMB owners and IT managers to prioritize updating their server firmware and implementing strong password policies.
