NVIDIA DGX BMC (AMI firmware): Hard-coded RC4 key in the DGX BMC firmware
Impact
Hard-coded RC4 key in the DGX BMC firmware. RC4 is broken to begin with and the key is public, so anything the BMC protects with it should be treated as cleartext. DGX-1 before BMC 3.38.30.
Who can reach it
Anyone who can capture BMC traffic or read BMC-stored data, plus anyone who downloads the firmware image.
What to do
Flash the DGX BMC firmware from NVIDIA's DGX firmware update container (DGX-1 to 3.38.30 or later, DGX-2 to 1.06.06 or later; DGX A100 per the bulletin's table). A BMC flash does not require the host OS to reboot but drops out-of-band management for several minutes and NVIDIA recommends a host power cycle afterwards, so treat it as a per-node maintenance window. Rotate every BMC and IPMI credential after the flash - flashing does not invalidate secrets an attacker already pulled. Keep BMCs on an isolated management VLAN with no route from tenant or job networks.
