AI risk analysis
- Summary
- BMC Helix Network Management allows unauthenticated attackers to bypass authentication and gain SuperAdmin access when SAML single sign-on is configured, enabling full administrative control without valid credentials.
- Exploitability
- Exploitation requires only a web browser and knowledge of the admin username, with no prerequisites beyond SAML configuration, making it highly practical for remote attackers.
- Blast radius
- An attacker could fully compromise network infrastructure management by gaining SuperAdmin privileges, allowing them to modify device credentials, execute commands, and alter audit trails across the managed environment.
- Detection
- No reliable host or network indicator is derivable from the published description.
- Prioritized remediation
- Disable SAML single sign-on configuration until a patch is available or upgrade to version 26.3.01 or later.

NVD description
BMC Helix Network Management on-prem before 26.3.01 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to log in as the local administrator with any password when SAML single sign-on is configured. Attackers can submit the administrator username with an arbitrary password on the web login page to obtain a SuperAdmin session, modify device credentials, run device commands, and alter audit records.
