Impact

An unauthenticated remote disclosure vulnerability has been identified in HPE Networking Instant On 1830, 1930, and 1960 Switches. Successful exploitation could allow an unauthenticated remote threat actor to access sensitive cryptographic secrets stored on a vulnerable system, exposing confidential keys and other protected material. This weakness maps to Information Exposure (CWE-200). Based on the description, it is inferred that an attacker would use the switch's exposed management interface without authentication to retrieve the secrets.

Affected Systems

The affected products are Hewlett Packard Enterprise Networking Instant On 1830, 1930, and 1960 switch models. No specific firmware versions are listed beyond the model family.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.5 indicates moderate severity. The EPSS score of < 1% indicates a very low but non-zero likelihood of exploitation. The vulnerability is identified as unauthenticated remote disclosure, implying that an attacker could gain information without prior authentication by connecting over the network to the switch's management interface. The leak of cryptographic secrets can have serious consequences for network security and may enable further attacks if the secrets are compromised.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the vendor-provided patch or firmware update as soon as it is released.
  • Restrict management access to the switch by enabling firewall rules, VLAN segmentation, and enforcing multi-factor authentication for management interfaces.
  • Disable any unused management services or unused interfaces on the switch to reduce the attack surface.
