MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires an authenticated HPE OneView administrator (the victim) to load attacker-controlled content in the OneView web interface - the CVSS UI:R metric makes victim interaction mandatory, so this cannot be exploited fully unattended against a default configuration. The attacker themselves needs no credentials (PR:N) and reaches the target over the network (AV:N), but exploitation is limited by the need to deliver the payload to and trigger it within a logged-in operator's browser session. The specific vulnerable feature, page, or parameter is not identified in the HPE advisory text provided, so defenders should consult hpesbgn05140en_us for the exact affected component and fixed version. |
| Impact | This is a moderately high-severity XSS (CWE-79) in HPE OneView with a vendor-assigned CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.2 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:L/A:N). The elevated score is driven by the network vector, no privileges required, a scope change (S:C, reflecting the browser execution context breaking out of the vulnerable application boundary), and high confidentiality impact - consistent with the described 'session hijacking' where an attacker who steals an authenticated admin's session token gains that admin's access. However, the score is tempered by the mandatory user interaction (UI:R): a victim must be induced to load attacker-controlled content, so this is not a wormable or fully automatable flaw. There is no EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public exploit code identified at time of analysis, so no evidence of active exploitation exists - this is a real-priority issue given the privileged nature of OneView administrators but not an emergency. The description is notably vague ('remote session hijacking or other unauthorized actions'), and only a single HPE self-published advisory is provided as a source, so the exact injection point, whether it is stored or reflected, and affected/fixed version boundaries cannot be confirmed from the available data - verify specifics against HPE advisory hpesbgn05140en_us. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker crafts a malicious link or payload that, when loaded by an authenticated HPE OneView administrator, executes attacker-controlled JavaScript in the OneView web UI context and exfiltrates the admin's session token or performs actions as that admin (session hijacking). Because privileges are not required (PR:N) but user interaction is (UI:R), the attacker must socially engineer or otherwise get a logged-in operator to trigger the payload. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 29, 2026
Cross-site scripting (CWE-79) in the HPE OneView web management interface allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to have attacker-controlled script execute inside a logged-in HPE OneView administrator's browser session, which HPE describes as enabling remote session hijacking or other unauthorized actions. Successful exploitation requires the victim - an authenticated OneView administrator - to load the crafted content (CVSS UI:R), so the flaw cannot be triggered unattended against a default deployment; the attacker needs no credentials (PR:N) and can deliver the payload over the network (AV:N). With a vendor-assigned CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.2 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:L/A:N), the scope-change and high-confidentiality metrics reflect that a hijacked administrator session can expose data well beyond the vulnerable page itself; no public exploit or proof-of-concept was identified at time of analysis and there is no CISA KEV listing.
RemediationAI
Apply the fixed HPE OneView release documented in HPE security bulletin hpesbgn05140en_us (https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=hpesbgn05140en_us&docLocale=en_US); the exact patched version number is not specified in the data available for this analysis, so confirm the target build against the bulletin before upgrading and follow HPE's published upgrade sequence for the appliance. Until the patched build is deployed, restrict access to the OneView administrative console to trusted management networks or VPN segments and avoid exposing the web UI to general user or internet-facing traffic - the trade-off is reduced flexibility for administrators who work remotely, and it does not neutralize the XSS itself, only the attacker's ability to deliver it. Operational hardening that lowers exposure: require administrators to log out of OneView before navigating to any external or untrusted site, avoid clicking links that land in a privileged OneView session, and monitor OneView and identity-provider logs for anomalous administrator session activity or unexpected actions, which increases detection time but adds logging overhead. Disabling or blocking the specific vulnerable page/feature is not possible from the advisory data because the affected component is not named in the provided bulletin text; consult hpesbgn05140en_us for that detail before applying feature-level workarounds.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The root cause is CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation, i.e. cross-site scripting) in HPE OneView, the vendor's converged-infrastructure management platform that exposes a browser-based administrative console. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:hewlett_packard_enterprise:hpe_oneview:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* carries a wildcard version, meaning the advisory does not pin the issue to a single release line and defenders must treat unpatched OneView instances as potentially in scope. Because the script runs with the origin trust of the OneView console, the CVSS scope metric is Changed (S:C): the impact extends past the web component to the administrator's authenticated session and, transitively, to the infrastructure OneView manages. The remaining vector components - AV:N, AC:L, PR:N, UI:R, C:H, I:L, A:N - describe an easy-to-reach network attack that needs no credentials but does require the victim to load the malicious content, with high confidentiality impact, limited integrity impact, and no availability impact. HPE's description points specifically to session hijacking as the practical outcome, consistent with theft or abuse of an administrator's session token rather than direct server-side code execution. The exact vulnerable page, parameter, or code path is not named in the advisory text supplied here, so the underlying injection point (reflected versus stored) cannot be confirmed from the available data.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
A potential security vulnerability in HPE OneView can be exploited to allow remote session hijacking or other unauthorized actions.
Executive ViewAI
HPE OneView administrators face a high-severity cross-site scripting flaw that could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to hijack privileged sessions and access sensitive management data. Exploitation requires an administrator to load malicious content, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis; no vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis is available. Leadership should prioritize immediate network and session protections to safeguard critical infrastructure management.
No vendor patch available; interim mitigations include restricting network access to the OneView management interface, enforcing multi-factor authentication, deploying WAF rules to block XSS, and monitoring administrator sessions for anomalous activity.
