Severity by source
AV:A/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:L
AV:A reflects management-plane adjacency requirement; AC:H reflects undisclosed specific bypass conditions; PR:N as authentication is bypassed; S:C for cross-switch/network impact.

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerabilities have been identified in the operating system of AOS-CX switches that could potentially allow an unauthenticated remote actor to circumvent existing authentication controls. Successful exploitation could compromise system integrity and further expose sensitive information.
AnalysisAI
Authentication bypass in HPE AOS-CX switch operating system allows an adjacent unauthenticated attacker, under high-complexity conditions, to circumvent authentication controls and achieve both integrity compromise and sensitive information exposure. The scope change in the CVSS vector (S:C) indicates successful exploitation can extend impact beyond the directly targeted switch - relevant in networked environments where a compromised switch becomes a pivot point. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires network adjacency (layer-2 or same broadcast domain) to the AOS-CX switch management plane - direct internet exploitation is not possible given AV:A. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 8.2 score reflects genuine severity: unauthenticated exploitation (PR:N) with no user interaction (UI:N) and a scope change (S:C) producing high confidentiality and integrity impacts. … 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 patched AOS-CX firmware versions and upgrade instructions. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: inventory all HPE AOS-CX deployments and restrict switch management interface access to authorized networks only via ACLs and network segmentation; audit recent access and authentication logs for suspicious activity. …
