Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability exists in the Analytics and Location Engine (ALE) API that may allow for the disclosure of sensitive information. An unauthenticated remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by providing specially crafted input to a specific API endpoint. Successful exploitation could result in the disclosure of sensitive user information, including password hashes, which could be used to facilitate further attacks.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated information disclosure in the HPE Aruba Analytics and Location Engine (ALE) API allows any remote attacker who can reach the service to submit specially crafted input to a specific endpoint and retrieve sensitive user data, including password hashes, which can then be cracked or reused to pivot into other systems. No credentials, privileges, or user interaction are required (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), so the only practical barrier is network exposure of the ALE API, which is typically an internal Aruba/HPE wireless location-analytics component. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires only network reachability to the Analytics and Location Engine (ALE) API - specifically the ability to send crafted input to one particular vulnerable API endpoint. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The vendor (HPE) CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N, base 5.3, MEDIUM) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated information-disclosure flaw with no integrity or availability impact. … 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 | No vendor-released patch version is confirmed in the provided intelligence, so treat HPE Security Bulletin hpesbnw05137en_us (https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=hpesbnw05137en_us&docLocale=en_US) as the authoritative source for the fixed ALE build and apply it as soon as HPE publishes an affected/fixed version matrix. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
