Over 24,000 exposed Baseboard Management Controllers (BMCs) on internet-facing servers are leaking administrator password hashes due to a decades-old vulnerability that allows unauthenticated access. The flaw affects multiple server manufacturers and creates a direct path for attackers to gain control of critical infrastructure.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cybersecurity and Security Infrastructure, and 2 sources have reported it.

Enterprise security tooling just acquired an installed base of 24,000 immediate customers. BMC access is now a known attack vector on deployed servers across every major organisation, and most have never run inventory or patching on these systems—that discovery and remediation work is yours to capture this quarter.
