2DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability in the ClearPass OnGuard agent could allow an authenticated remote attacker to elevate their own privileges on a vulnerable ClearPass OnGuard deployment. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to obtain root privileges, leading to potentially unauthorized operation of the vulnerable system.
AnalysisAI
Privilege escalation in the HPE Aruba ClearPass OnGuard agent enables an authenticated network-accessible attacker with low privileges to elevate to root on the affected deployment. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N) confirms low-complexity network exploitation requiring no user interaction, making it straightforward to weaponize for any attacker who holds even a basic account on the system. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the attacker to hold a valid authenticated session with at least low-level privileges on the ClearPass OnGuard deployment (PR:L per CVSS vector). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The provided CVSS score of 6.5 with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N is likely conservative: root privilege escalation realistically implies full CIA triad impact, yet the provided vector records only I:H. … 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 patch or updated ClearPass OnGuard version specified in HPE security bulletin hpesbnw05130en_us (https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=hpesbnw05130en_us&docLocale=en_US). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
