In short

Lenovo server firmware accidentally includes the web server's private encryption key in support log files. This allows anyone with access to these logs to impersonate the server and intercept secure communications.

Technical detail

An attacker with access to these diagnostic files (via local access, backup disclosure, or support channels) can obtain the private key, enabling man-in-the-middle attacks and session hijacking against the management interface.
