Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for vulnerability proofing the administration of hardware components of an IHS. A proposed configuration for a hardware component of the IHS is detected. Multiple catalogs specifying known vulnerabilities of hardware components are accessed, such as a catalog of known vulnerabilities provided by a manufacturer of the hardware component and such as a catalog of known vulnerabilities provided by a manufacturer of the IHS. The proposed configuration of the hardware component is evaluated as being vulnerable in the first catalog and also in the second catalog. If the proposed configuration is identified as vulnerable in either the first catalog or in the second catalog, the hardware component is disabled until the proposed configurations for the hardware component are changed to include no configurations with vulnerabilities identified in either the first or second catalogs.
