Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for vulnerability proofing an IHS (Information Handling System) while being administered using a bootable image. Launching of a bootable image by the one or more CPUs is detected and one or more IHS configurations to be made using the bootable image are identified. One or more catalogs specifying known vulnerabilities of hardware components are accessed and used to determine whether any of the IHS configurations to be made using the bootable image are identified as vulnerable in one or more of the catalogs. Configuration of the IHS using the bootable image is blocked until the configurations to be made using the bootable image are modified to include no configurations with vulnerabilities identified in the plurality of catalogs.
