How the CVE Works
CVE-2025-27086 is an authentication bypass vulnerability in HPE Performance Cluster Manager (HPCM) GUI. The flaw arises due to improper session validation, allowing attackers to craft malicious requests that bypass authentication checks. By exploiting insufficient validation in the login mechanism, an attacker can gain unauthorized access to the administrative interface without credentials. The vulnerability leverages weak token verification, enabling session hijacking or privilege escalation. Attackers may manipulate HTTP headers or cookies to impersonate legitimate users, granting full control over the HPCM system.
