Evidence used

  • No CISA KEV confirmation is currently recorded.
  • EPSS is 0.32% for the current model date.

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

  1. Confirm that the asset runs Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) HPE Aruba Networking EdgeConnect SD-WAN Gateway and falls inside the recorded affected range.
  2. Verify the installed build against the product-specific fixed version after deployment.
  3. Validate exposure, authentication requirements and compensating controls in the actual environment.
  4. Reopen this reassessment when CVSS, KEV, EPSS, exploit evidence or remediation changes.
Mitigation target: As exposure requiresRemediation target: Within 365 days

This automated reassessment organises public evidence. It does not know asset exposure, business impact or control effectiveness and does not replace CVSS or a human risk decision.

Summary
A vulnerability in the web API of HPE Aruba Networking EdgeConnect SD-WAN Gateways could allow an authenticated remote attacker to terminate arbitrary running processes. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to disrupt system operations, potentially resulting in an unstable system state.
Remediation
HPE Aruba Networking advises customers to upgrade to the following versions to address all vulnerabilities within this advisory, unless otherwise specified in the Details section. These builds and branches will fix all vulnerabilities listed above: - HPE Aruba Networking EdgeConnect SD-WAN 9.5.4.1 and above - HPE Aruba Networking EdgeConnect SD-WAN 9.4.4.2 and above The HPE Aruba Networking EdgeConnect SD-WAN Orchestrator software version must be greater than or equal to the ECOS software version running on any HPE Aruba EdgeConnect SD-WAN Gateways. HPE Aruba Networking does not evaluate or patch software versions that have reached their End of Maintenance (EoM) milestone.

01

What, why and how

A vulnerability in the web API of HPE Aruba Networking EdgeConnect SD-WAN Gateways could allow an authenticated remote attacker to terminate arbitrary running processes. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to disrupt system operations, potentially resulting in an unstable system state.

What

A vulnerability in the web API of HPE Aruba Networking EdgeConnect SD-WAN Gateways could allow an authenticated remote attacker to terminate arbitrary running processes. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to disrupt system operations, potentially resulting in an unstable system state.

Why

The product performs an operation at a privilege level that is higher than the minimum level required, which creates new weaknesses or amplifies the consequences of other weaknesses.

How

An attacker operating through a network path may attempt exploitation with low privileges. If successful, the issue may cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor.

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
No confirmed evidence

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
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
None recorded

No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.

CWE-250 ↗

CWE-250: Execution with Unnecessary Privileges. The product performs an operation at a privilege level that is higher than the minimum level required, which creates new weaknesses or amplifies the consequences of other weaknesses.

NCSC-NL · Dutch · NCSC-2025-0294Kwetsbaarheden verholpen in HPE Aruba Networking EdgeConnect SD-WAN Gateways

De kwetsbaarheden bevinden zich in de command-line interface en web API van de HPE Aruba Networking EdgeConnect SD-WAN Gateways. Deze kwetsbaarheden stellen geauthenticeerde aanvallers in staat om willekeurige systeemcommando's uit te voeren met root-toegang, shell-toegang te verkrijgen, en processen te beëindigen, wat kan leiden tot ongeautoriseerde controle en destabilisatie van de systemen. Dit kan ook resulteren in het uitlekken van gevoelige gegevens en het omzeilen van bestaande firewallbescherming.
