Description
A command injection vulnerability exists in the web-based management interface of HPE Networking Fabric Composer that could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to run arbitrary commands on the underlying host if certain preconditions outside of the attacker's control are met. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system leading to complete system compromise.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is a command injection flaw in the web-based management interface of HPE Networking Fabric Composer. It allows an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands on the underlying host if certain preconditions that are external to the attacker are met. Successful exploitation would give the attacker full control of the operating system and lead to a complete system compromise.

Affected Systems

The affected product is Hewlett Packard Enterprise Fabric Composer. No specific version information is provided, so all deployments of this product should be evaluated for potential exposure.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.5 indicates high severity for potential remote code execution. The EPSS score of < 1% suggests that the current likelihood of exploitation is very low, though it does not eliminate risk. This vulnerability is not listed in CISA's KEV catalog. Attackers would need unauthenticated access to the Fabric Composer web interface, and the required environmental conditions must exist. Because the flaw permits execution of arbitrary commands, a successful exploit would give an attacker complete control over the underlying operating system, with total impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Check the HPE Fabric Composer version you are running and download any available security patches or firmware updates from the vendor’s support portal.
  • If no patch is immediately available, restrict network access to the Fabric Composer web interface using firewalls or internal segmentation to limit exposure to the public network or the attacker’s reach.
  • Disable or restrict unauthenticated access to the web management portal and enforce proper authentication and role-based access controls before attempting to restore full functionality.
