Compensating controls
- Validate the affected product branch and deploy the verified fixed release.
- Restrict the affected network interface to trusted sources where business-safe.
- Monitor vendor guidance and exploitation sources for a material change.
Verification
- Confirm that the asset runs Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) EdgeConnect SD-WAN Orchestrator and falls inside the recorded affected range.
- Verify the installed build against the product-specific fixed version after deployment.
- Validate exposure, authentication requirements and compensating controls in the actual environment.
- Reopen this reassessment when CVSS, KEV, EPSS, exploit evidence or remediation changes.

The vendor explicitly identifies these products as affected by this CVE.
- EdgeConnect SD-WAN Orchestrator
- Summary
- A vulnerability within the web-based management interface of EdgeConnect SD-WAN Orchestrator could allow a remote attacker to conduct a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) attack against a user of the interface. A successful exploit could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary script code in a victim's browser in the context of the affected interface.
- Remediation
- HPE Aruba Networking has patched this particular vulnerability in the following branches and versions of Orchestrator: - Orchestrator 9.3.x: Orchestrator 9.3.0 (all builds) and above - Orchestrator 9.2.x: Orchestrator 9.2.3 (all builds) and above - Orchestrator 9.1.x: Orchestrator 9.1.6 (all builds) and above
Medium technical severity with no CISA KEV confirmation; remediate through the normal risk-based patch cycle unless local exposure raises the priority.

What, why and how
Multiple vulnerabilities in the web-based management interface of EdgeConnect SD-WAN Orchestrator could allow an authenticated remote attacker to conduct SQL injection attacks against the EdgeConnect SD-WAN Orchestrator instance. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to obtain and modify sensitive information in the underlying database potentially leading to the exposure and corruption of sensitive data controlled by the EdgeConnect SD-WAN Orchestrator host.
What
Multiple vulnerabilities in the web-based management interface of EdgeConnect SD-WAN Orchestrator could allow an authenticated remote attacker to conduct SQL injection attacks against the EdgeConnect SD-WAN Orchestrator instance. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to obtain and modify sensitive information in the underlying database potentially leading to the exposure and corruption of sensitive data controlled by the EdgeConnect SD-WAN Orchestrator host.
Why
The product stores sensitive information without properly limiting read or write access by unauthorized actors.
How
An attacker operating through a network path may attempt exploitation without authentication after a user interaction. If successful, the issue may obtain information outside the intended access boundary.

Exploit reality and attack path
CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.
Observed exploitation No confirmed evidence
?
Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.
Public PoC / exploit material None recorded
?
Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.
- Likely attack path
- a network path → Insecure Storage of Sensitive Information → obtain information outside the intended access boundary
- Attack surface
- Network
- Privileges required
- None: unauthenticated exploitation is possible
- User interaction
- Required interaction required
- Attack complexity
- Low: no specialised conditions are recorded
- Security boundary
- Changed: exploitation can affect a different security authority
- Weakness
?
CWE means Common Weakness Enumeration: a standard category for the underlying weakness. - CWE-922 ↗
CWE-922: Insecure Storage of Sensitive Information. The product stores sensitive information without properly limiting read or write access by unauthorized actors.
- CVSS vector
?
CVSS means Common Vulnerability Scoring System. The vector records the metric values used to calculate technical severity. CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:NCommon Vulnerability Scoring System 3.1: the compact vector below is decoded into plain language.
AVNetworkAttack vector: The vulnerable component can be reached over a network.ACLowAttack complexity: No specialised conditions are required beyond attacker-controlled input.PRNonePrivileges required: The attacker does not need an account or existing privileges.UIRequiredUser interaction: Another user must perform an action for exploitation to succeed.SChangedScope: The attack can affect a component governed by a different security authority.CLowConfidentiality impact: A successful attack can cause a limited loss.ILowIntegrity impact: A successful attack can cause a limited loss.ANoneAvailability impact: No direct loss is represented by this metric.- Post-exploitation / living off the land
- No specific living-off-the-land technique is confirmed in the structured sources. Monitor normal administration tools for activity inconsistent with the affected service's baseline.
