2DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerabilities in the API endpoint of AOS-CX could allow a remote attacker authenticated with low privileges to access sensitive information. A successful exploit allows an attacker to retrieve information which could be used to potentially gain further access to network services supported by AOS-CX.
AnalysisAI
Authenticated low-privilege information disclosure in HPE AOS-CX's API endpoint exposes sensitive data sufficient to enable lateral movement to downstream network services. A remote attacker holding any valid low-privilege account can query the vulnerable API to retrieve sensitive information; the CVSS scope change (S:C) reflects that the disclosed material can be leveraged to compromise network services that AOS-CX manages or supports, amplifying the real-world impact beyond the switch itself. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires a valid AOS-CX account with at minimum low-privilege access (PR:L per CVSS vector); unauthenticated exploitation is not indicated. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 7.7 score is driven primarily by the scope change (S:C) and high confidentiality impact (C:H) rather than ease of access - PR:L represents a meaningful barrier requiring valid credentials. … 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 HPE Security Bulletin hpesbnw05134en_us at https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=hpesbnw05134en_us&docLocale=en_US for the vendor-confirmed fixed AOS-CX version - the input data does not specify an exact patched release, so applying the update identified in that bulletin is the primary action. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all HPE AOS-CX deployments, identify accounts with API access privileges, and document which downstream services each AOS-CX instance manages. …
