Description
A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of the EdgeConnect SD-WAN Orchestrator could allow an authenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary script code in a victim's browser in the context of the affected interface. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to access sensitive information, potentially affecting the confidentiality and integrity of the data processed by the application.

AI Analysis

Impact

A stored cross‑site scripting flaw resides in the EdgeConnect SD‑WAN Orchestrator's web‑based management interface. An attacker who authenticates to the system can submit malicious script that is persisted and later executed in a victim’s browser while the browser is logged into the interface. When executed, the script runs with the same privileges as the victim user, enabling collection of sensitive information, tampering with data, or further lateral movement within the network. The weakness is a classic input validation flaw labeled CWE‑79.

Affected Systems

Hewlett Packard Enterprise EdgeConnect SD‑WAN Gateways. No specific affected versions are disclosed in the data provided.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 5.5, indicating moderate severity, and has no EPSS score or listing in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires the attacker to possess valid credentials for the management interface, but once authenticated the attacker can abuse the stored XSS to compromise confidentiality and integrity for that user’s session. Because the attack vector is authenticated remote and the exploit can run arbitrary browser code, the risk to organizations operating EdgeConnect is tangible but not catastrophic without additional weaknesses.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply any vendor‑supplied patch or upgrade for EdgeConnect SD‑WAN Gateways as soon as it becomes available.
  • Restrict the set of users who have access to the web‑based management interface and enforce role‑based permissions to the minimum necessary.
  • Deploy a web application firewall or configure input sanitization on the interface to neutralize malicious script payloads.
