Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
A business logic vulnerability exists in the API of HPE Networking Fabric Composer. Successful exploitation could allow an authenticated low privilege operator user to obtain elevated privileges and modify settings beyond what is authorized by the user's existing privilege level on a vulnerable system.
AnalysisAI
Privilege escalation in HPE Networking Fabric Composer allows an authenticated low-privilege operator to exploit business logic flaws in the product API, obtaining elevated privileges and modifying system settings beyond their authorized scope. The CVSS 3.1 score of 8.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N) reflects that exploitation is network-accessible, low-complexity, and requires only a valid operator credential. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires a valid low-privilege operator user account on the target HPE Networking Fabric Composer instance, as confirmed by the CVSS vector metric PR:L. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:L) captures a realistic and meaningful threat: the API is network-reachable, exploitation requires no special configuration or elevated credentials beyond a standard operator account, and successful exploitation yields high-impact unauthorized reads and writes to system configuration. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Consult the HPE security bulletin at https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=hpesbnw05133en_us&docLocale=en_US for the specific patched release version, which is not confirmed in available input data and must not be inferred. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
