Not an ‘apply and move on’ solution: While CISA’s KEV inclusion raised the priority immediately, enterprises can’t treat OneView like a routine endpoint patch. Management-plane software is often deployed on-premises, sometimes on physical servers, and tightly coupled with production workflows. A rushed fix that breaks monitoring, authentication, or integrations can be almost as dangerous as the vulnerability itself.Barr cautioned that organizations first need to understand how OneView is deployed: whether on physical hardware, as a virtual machine with snapshot support, or in a clustered configuration, before moving to patch. Virtualized setups may allow quicker patch-and-rollback cycles, while older or large on-prem deployments demand careful sequencing and tested backout plans.”Security teams should be collecting threat intelligence at the same time that they are developing patching strategies,” he said. “That means knowing how the exploit is being utilized, which industries are being targeted, whether attackers are scanning for vulnerable APIs in large numbers, and what signs or actions may be watched throughout the patching time.”While in-the-wild exploitation has not yet been acknowledged outside of the CISA KEV update, the likelihood has been strong as technical details and a Metasploit module were made public shortly after >HPE disclosed the flaw on December 18, 2025.
