The BMC is always on a maintenance vlan for any organization worth its salt. The software stack on those things doesn't deserve to see the light of the day. If you open it up to the internet, you will get pwned, china or not. So there seems to be something missing. It can't just be a compromised BMC.
Edit: Now that I think of it, a compromised BMC can inject payloads into the running OS, depending on the sophistication of the attack and the defenses of the OS. So it does seem possible.
- parliament32 8y agoKeep in mind that the BCM already has the ability to piggyback on the production interface if it decides the dedicated interface isn't connected to anything... what's to stop it from doing this in a mailicious scenario and fire off some garbage-looking dns/icmp/whatever?
