IBM Flexible Service Processor (FSP) FW860.00 through FW860.B3, FW950.00 through FW950.C0, FW1030.00 through FW1030.61, FW1050.00 through FW1050.21, and FW1060.00 through FW1060.10 has static credentials which may allow network users to gain service privileges to the FSP.
FSP (Flexible Service Processor) is a dedicated service processor in IBM Power servers, responsible for low-level hardware management. In vulnerable firmware versions, static credentials are hardcoded and are not uniquely generated for each device. An attacker with network access to the FSP interface can use these fixed credentials to authenticate and gain service privileges without knowledge of passwords configured by the administrator.
An attacker can gain privileged service access to the FSP processor, which potentially allows full control over server hardware management, including manipulation of hardware configuration, reading of sensitive data, and disruption of system availability.
Apply patches available from the manufacturer according to the references (https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7174183). Additionally, it is recommended to restrict network access to FSP interfaces exclusively to trusted management networks and implement network segmentation to prevent unauthorized access to these interfaces.
