Lenovo has disclosed a high-severity security flaw in ThinkSystem V4 server management firmware that restores a default OpenBMC root password after a factory reset.
Summary
Tracked as CVE-2026-81936, the issue could let attackers access enabled administrative interfaces and reach the controller’s underlying operating system, which is normally restricted.
This is a brief wire summary, the full story (linked below) has the complete details.
KazaSec's take
Phishing and credential-based attacks succeed because they target people, not just infrastructure, technical controls like SPF, DKIM, and DMARC only ever close part of that gap. The rest comes down to whether a team can actually spot the fake, and whether a compromised credential can still be reused anywhere else.
