CVE-2025-37164
CVE-2025-37164 is a security flaw in Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) OneView. Attackers can run their own code on Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) OneView from anywhere, without logging in. The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) added it to its catalog of flaws known to be used in attacks on 7 Jan 2026.[1]
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) OneView is business software or equipment. Most families won’t have it, but attackers break into it to get inside companies, and from there to what those companies hold about their customers, patients and staff. Fixed in version 11.00 of HPE OneView.
Description
CISA calls it a code injection in Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) OneView. In its words: “Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) OneView contains a code injection vulnerability that allows a remote unauthenticated user to perform remote code execution.”[1]
The underlying weakness is code injection (CWE-94), in MITRE’s list of common software weaknesses.[2]
It scores 9.8 out of 10 on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System, which rates it critical, scored by NVD using CVSS 3.1.[2]
Affected versions
NVD’s record lists one fixed version: everything before it is affected.[2]
| Product | Fixed in |
|---|---|
| HPE OneView | 11.00 |
Most families won’t have Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) OneView; it’s for whoever looks after IT at work.
Exploitation
CISA added it to its catalog of known exploited vulnerabilities on 7 Jan 2026, 22 days after it was made public. CISA lists a flaw only when it has reliable evidence of it being exploited, and gave US federal agencies until 28 Jan 2026 to fix it.[1]
FIRST’s Exploit Prediction Scoring System, which estimates how likely a flaw is to be used in attacks in the next 30 days from what it sees across the internet, puts it at 90%. That’s in the top 1% of the flaws it scores.[4]
CISA assesses it as automatable: attackers can run it against many targets at once.
CISA doesn’t say who was attacked, or how.
Fix
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has published a fix or advice.[3] CISA’s required action: “Apply mitigations per vendor instructions, follow applicable BOD 22-01 guidance for cloud services, or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.”[1]
- Check whether you use it.Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) OneView is business software or equipment, so most families won’t have it. If you run a business, or work from home on company equipment, ask whoever looks after your IT.
- Send this page to your IT person.Ask them to confirm it’s fixed (fixed in version 11.00 of HPE OneView), or not in use. CISA gave US government agencies until 28 Jan 2026 to fix it.
- If it can’t be fixed, take it offline.CISA’s advice when there’s no fix is to stop using the product, or take it off the internet, until there is one.
You can’t fix someone else’s server, but you can watch for what follows a break-in like this: a breach notice, a password reset you didn’t ask for, or a scam message that knows things it shouldn’t. HARD watches for those for you and your family.
