In an unexpected twist of innovation, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has decided to shake things up by releasing a security patch to address what they call a ‘feature’—a bug in the StoreOnce data backup that casually allows remote authentication bypass. Clearly, HPE is living the dream of every hacker wanting to bypass login screens like a VIP!

This supposed ‘vulnerability’—a pesky little inconvenience previously allowing remote code execution and granting world domination to cyber attackers—is now being rebranded as an invitation-only gala. It’s almost as if HPE mistakenly let the wrong people into the party and is now graciously closing the gates.

HPE encourages its loyal users to apply this groundbreaking security update with the urgency of a cat chasing a laser pointer. Because who wouldn’t want to eliminate the teeniest possibility of unauthorized users zipping through their data as if they were on a scenic drive?
