Lifecycle Timeline
1DescriptionCVE.org
A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the API of HPE Networking Fabric Composer. Successful exploitation could allow an authenticated low privilege operator user to change the state of certain settings of a vulnerable system.
AnalysisAI
Privilege escalation in HPE Networking Fabric Composer allows an authenticated operator-level user to modify system settings that the API is intended to restrict to higher-privilege roles. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N) confirms network-exploitable with low attack complexity, requiring only a valid operator credential and no user interaction. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires a valid low-privilege operator-tier account on the HPE Networking Fabric Composer instance and network-level access to the Fabric Composer API (AV:N). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 6.5 score reflects a meaningful integrity risk bounded by the requirement for a valid operator credential (PR:L), which limits exposure relative to the unauthenticated Fabric Composer flaws documented in the same advisory window. … 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 | The primary fix is to apply the patch or upgrade identified in HPE Security Bulletin hpesbnw05133en_us, available at https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=hpesbnw05133en_us&docLocale=en_US. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
