Lifecycle Timeline
1DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability in the affected interface of HPE Networking Fabric Composer allows an attacker with administrative privileges to access sensitive information in a cleartext format. A successful exploit allows an attacker to retrieve information which could be used to potentially gain further access to network services supported by HPE Networking Fabric Composer.
AnalysisAI
Cleartext exposure of sensitive information in HPE Networking Fabric Composer's management interface can be triggered by an authenticated administrator, potentially revealing credentials or configuration data for downstream network services. The vulnerability requires both administrative privileges and high attack complexity (CVSS 2.2, AV:N/AC:H/PR:H), meaning realistic exploitability is limited to insiders or attackers who have already fully compromised an admin account. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires a valid administrative account on HPE Networking Fabric Composer (PR:H). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | CVSS 2.2 places this at the lowest tier of severity, and the vector components support that rating: AV:N indicates the management interface is network-accessible, but AC:H and PR:H jointly require that the attacker already possess administrative credentials and satisfy an additional complexity prerequisite - making opportunistic remote exploitation implausible. … 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 HPESBNW05133 at https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=hpesbnw05133en_us&docLocale=en_US for the official patched version and upgrade instructions - exact fix versions are not independently confirmed from available data. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
