AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is an unauthenticated web‑based open redirect that allows a remote attacker to cause users of the AOS‑CX Switch web interface to be redirected to an arbitrary URL. This type of weakness (CWE‑601) can be abused for phishing or malicious script delivery, compromising user confidence and potentially leading to credential compromise if users click on a fake login page. The security impact is primarily the loss of integrity and trust of the web interface, without immediate denial of service or data exfiltration.

Affected Systems

Affected systems are Hewlett Packard Enterprise AOS‑CX Switches. No specific product version information is provided in the CNA data, so owners should verify which firmware or software build is running.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS v3 score of 6.5 indicates moderate severity. The EPSS score is less than 1%, suggesting a low probability of current exploitation, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers only need unauthenticated access to the web interface, so the attack vector is remote over the network; however, the lack of higher severity or widespread exploitation data indicates that while the vulnerability is real, the likelihood of immediate impact is lower compared to higher‑score issues.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Check the HPE Support Portal for an AOS‑CX patch or firmware update that addresses the open‑redirect issue
  • Apply the latest vendor patch or release as soon as it is available
  • If a patch is not yet available, consider restricting access to the web interface by firewall rules or disabling the UI for untrusted users
  • Monitor web‑interface logs for suspicious redirect activities and review user reports of unexpected URLs
  • Keep general security hygiene by ensuring other known vulnerabilities are also patched
