Overview
HP/Compaq Insight Manager on 2301/2381 manages older HP/Compaq servers. On dated kit it’s default creds and a CVE buffet.
Enumeration
Hit the management homepage:
curl -sk https://<TARGET>:2381/ | grep -i version
Try default creds, then map the version to known CVEs.
Hardening
Update or retire the agent, change default credentials, and restrict the management ports to an admin network.
