An authenticated Path Traversal vulnerability exists in AOS-CX. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability allows an attacker to read arbitrary files from the web-based management interface of the underlying operating system, which could lead to remote unauthorized access to files.
AnalysisAI
Authenticated path traversal in HPE AOS-CX's web-based management interface permits a low-privileged authenticated attacker to read arbitrary files from the underlying operating system, potentially exposing credentials, private keys, and device configuration data. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L) confirms the vulnerability is remotely exploitable with minimal complexity once valid credentials are obtained. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Low-privilege authenticated access to the AOS-CX web-based management interface is required - the CVSS PR:L vector confirms credentials are necessary. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 6.5 score reflects a realistic, moderate-to-significant threat: network-accessible (AV:N), low-complexity (AC:L), authenticated (PR:L), with high confidentiality impact and no integrity or availability effect. … 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 | Apply the HPE-released patch documented in security bulletin hpesbnw05134, available at https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=hpesbnw05134en_us&docLocale=en_US, which specifies exact fixed AOS-CX versions per release branch - consult the bulletin directly as the CPE wildcard prevents inferring a specific upgrade target from this advisory alone. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
