Gigamon GVOS v5.16.1 and below is vulnerable to Directory Traversal in the GVOS H-VUE subsystem.
AnalysisAI
Path traversal in the H-VUE web management subsystem of Gigamon GigaVUE-OS (GVOS) versions 5.16.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files outside the intended web root, exposing sensitive system data. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) indicates network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated exploitation with high confidentiality impact but no integrity or availability effect. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires network reachability to the H-VUE web management subsystem of an affected GVOS appliance (version 5.16.1 or below); per the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) no authentication, no user interaction, and no special configuration is needed beyond the H-VUE interface being accessible to the attacker. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The signals point to a credible but bounded risk. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who can reach the H-VUE web interface over the network sends a crafted HTTP request with a manipulated path or filename parameter containing '../' traversal sequences. Because no authentication is required (PR:N) and complexity is low, the request resolves to a sensitive file outside the web root - such as a configuration file or credential store - and returns its contents to the attacker, who can then use the disclosed data to deepen the compromise. |
| Remediation | No specific vendor-released fixed version is identified in the available data, so no exact upgrade target can be cited; consult Gigamon support and the GigaVUE-OS release notes for a patched build above 5.16.1 and apply it once confirmed. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: identify all Gigamon GigaVUE-OS deployments and assess whether H-VUE management interfaces are reachable from untrusted networks. …
