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) AOS-CX 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.
- AOS-CX
- Summary
- A vulnerability in the AOS-CX REST interface could allow an authenticated remote attacker with low privileges to view sensitive information. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to read encrypted credentials of other users on the switch, potentially leading to further unauthorized access or data breaches.
- Remediation
- To address the vulnerabilities described above in the affected software branches, it is recommended to upgrade HPE Aruba Networking AOS-CX to one of the following versions (as applicable): - AOS-CX 10.15.1001 - AOS-CX 10.14.1040 - AOS-CX 10.13.1080 - AOS-CX 10.10.1150 Software versions with resolution/fixes for the vulnerabilities covered above can be downloaded from the HPE Networking Support Portal at https://networkingsupport.hpe.com/home/

What, why and how
A vulnerability in the AOS-CX REST interface could allow an authenticated remote attacker with low privileges to view sensitive information. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to read encrypted credentials of other users on the switch, potentially leading to further unauthorized access or data breaches.
What
A vulnerability in the AOS-CX REST interface could allow an authenticated remote attacker with low privileges to view sensitive information. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to read encrypted credentials of other users on the switch, potentially leading to further unauthorized access or data breaches.
Why
The product does not properly prevent a person's private, personal information from being accessed by actors who either (1) are not explicitly authorized to access the information or (2) do not have the implicit consent of the person about whom the information is collected.
How
An attacker operating through a network path may attempt exploitation with low privileges. 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 → Exposure of Private Personal Information to an Unauthorized Actor → obtain information outside the intended access boundary
- Attack surface
- Network
- Privileges required
- Low: a basic authenticated account is required
- User interaction
- None
- Attack complexity
- Low: no specialised conditions are recorded
- Security boundary
- Unchanged: impact remains within the vulnerable component's security authority
- Weakness
?
CWE means Common Weakness Enumeration: a standard category for the underlying weakness. - CWE-359 ↗
CWE-359: Exposure of Private Personal Information to an Unauthorized Actor. The product does not properly prevent a person's private, personal information from being accessed by actors who either (1) are not explicitly authorized to access the information or (2) do not have the implicit consent of the person about whom the information is collected.

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:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:NCommon Vulnerability Scoring System 3.1: the compact vector below is decoded into plain language.

- Stolen credentials, tokens and legitimate administration functions may provide continued access without deploying a large custom toolset.
