AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
Agrees with vendor vector: PR:H reflects required admin auth; S:C captures browser-context escape; C:H/I:H justified by full session hijack over network-critical infrastructure; A:H via hijacked session enabling destructive config changes.

A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of AOS-CX could allow an authenticated remote attacker to conduct a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) attack against an administrative user of the interface. A successful exploit allows an attacker to execute arbitrary script code in a victim's browser in the context of the affected interface.
AnalysisAI
Stored cross-site scripting in the HPE AOS-CX web-based management interface allows an authenticated attacker with high privileges to inject persistent malicious script that executes in the browser of any administrator who subsequently views the affected page. Because the scope changes to the victim's browser context, a successful exploit enables session hijacking, credential theft, or execution of privileged management actions against AOS-CX network infrastructure. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The attacker must be authenticated to the AOS-CX web management interface with high privileges (PR:H per CVSS vector) - exploitation is not possible without prior administrative credential access. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS score of 8.4 is driven primarily by the scope change (S:C) and full-triad impact (C:H/I:H/A:H), not by attacker privilege level - PR:H correctly signals that an attacker must already hold high-privilege credentials on the management interface. … 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 patched AOS-CX firmware version specified in HPE security bulletin hpesbnw05134en_us (https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=hpesbnw05134en_us&docLocale=en_US); exact fix versions are not reproduced in available input data and must be confirmed from the bulletin directly. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, audit all HPE AOS-CX deployments and review administrative access logs for suspicious activity or signs of compromise. …
