Description
A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of AOS-CX could allow an authenticated remote attacker to conduct a server-side request forgery (SSRF) attack. A successful exploit allows an attacker to enumerate information about the internal structure of the AOS-CX host, leading to potential disclosure and limited modification of sensitive information.

Impact

A vulnerability in the web‑based management interface of HPE AOS‑CX allows an authenticated remote attacker to perform a server‑side request forgery. By leveraging this flaw the attacker can instruct the target system to access arbitrary URLs, enabling enumeration of internal network resources and leaking of sensitive configuration details. The attack does not grant unrestricted control but may allow limited modification of sensitive information. The flaw belongs to the Server‑Side Request Forgery weakness (CWE‑918) and can lead to information exposure (CWE‑200).

Affected Systems

The affected product is Hewlett Packard Enterprise AOS‑CX. No specific version range was cited in the advisory, so all releases that include the web‑based management interface remain potentially vulnerable until a patch is applied.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.4 indicates moderate severity. The EPSS score is not available, and the flaw is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting no known active exploitation at present. However, because the vulnerability requires authentication to the web interface, only users who have legitimate administrative credentials can exploit it; an attacker must first compromise an account or gain fraudulent access. Once authenticated, the SSRF can be triggered without additional privileges, and the attacker can enumerate internal hosts or fetch sensitive data. The risk therefore is moderate, with exploitation depending on credential compromise.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest HPE AOS‑CX security patch or upgrade to a version where the SSRF flaw is fixed; obtain the patch from HPE support or the vendor site.
  • Restrict access to the web‑based management interface to a narrow, trusted administrative network and enforce role‑based access control; consider separating management traffic from general data traffic.
  • Configure firewall or routing rules to block outbound connections from the AOS‑CX host to internal network ranges or untrusted external addresses that are not required for normal operation, thereby limiting the impact of potential SSRF requests.
  • Enable multi‑factor authentication for accounts with administrative privileges to reduce the likelihood that stolen credentials can be used to exploit the flaw.
  • Monitor system logs for abnormal outbound HTTP requests originating from the AOS‑CX management service and investigate any suspicious activity.
