Description
The BMC IOA security exits enable access authorization checking to BMC IOA commands, features, and online functionality. If these exit(s) is (are) not in place, activities by unauthorized users may result. BMC IOA security exit(s) interface with the ACP. If an unauthorized exit was introduced into the operating environment, system security could be weakened or bypassed. These exposures may result in the compromise of the operating system environment, ACP, and customer data.
