- Published: 2020-06-29 · Updated: 2024-08-04

## Affected

- NetApp NetApp HCI Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) HCI H610C, NetApp HCI Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) HCI H615C, NetApp HCI Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) HCI H610S: Element OS v11.8, Element OS v12.0, Compute Firmware Bundle v12.2.92

## Description

The NetApp HCI H610C, H615C and H610S Baseboard Management Controllers (BMC) are shipped with a documented default account and password that should be changed during the initial node setup. During upgrades to Element 11.8 and 12.0 or the Compute Firmware Bundle 12.2.92 the BMC account password on the H610C, H615C and H610S platforms is reset to the default documented value which could allow remote attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS).
