Affected Products These vulnerabilities affect ClearPass Policy Manager running the following software versions unless specifically noted otherwise in the details section: ClearPass Policy Manager 6.11.x: 6.11.1 and below ClearPass Policy Manager 6.10.x: 6.10.8 and below ClearPass Policy Manager 6.9.x: 6.9.13 and below Versions of ClearPass Policy Manager that are end of life are affected by these vulnerabilities unless otherwise indicated. Unaffected Products Any other Aruba products not specifically listed above are not affected by these vulnerabilities. Details Unauthenticated Arbitrary User Creation Leads to Complete System Compromise (CVE-2023-25589) A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of ClearPass Policy Manager could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to create arbitrary users on the platform. A successful exploit allows an attacker to achieve total cluster compromise. Internal references: ATLCP-229 Severity: Critical CVSSv3 Overall Score: 9.8 CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H Discovery: This vulnerability was discovered and reported by Daniel Jensen (@dozernz) via Aruba's Bug Bounty Program. Local Privilege Escalation in ClearPass OnGuard Linux Agent (CVE-2023-25590) A vulnerability in the ClearPass OnGuard Linux agent could allow malicious users on a Linux instance to elevate their user privileges to those of a higher role. A successful exploit allows malicious users to execute arbitrary code with root level privileges on the Linux instance. Internal references: ATLCP-235 Severity: High CVSSv3 Overall Score: 7.8 CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H Discovery: This vulnerability was discovered and reported by Luke Young (bugcrowd.com/bored_engineer) via Aruba's Bug Bounty Program. Authenticated Information Disclosure in ClearPass Policy Manager Web-Based Management Interface (CVE-2023-25591) A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of ClearPass Policy Manager could allow a remote attacker authenticated with low privileges to access sensitive information. A successful exploit allows an attacker to retrieve information which could be used to potentially gain further privileges on the ClearPass instance. Internal Reference: ATLCP-224 Severity: High CVSSv3.x Overall Score: 7.6 CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:L Discovery: This vulnerability was discovered and reported by Luke Young (bugcrowd.com/bored_engineer) via Aruba's Bug Bounty program. Reflected Cross Site Scripting Vulnerabilities (XSS) in ClearPass Policy Manager Web-Based Management Interface (CVE-2023-25592, CVE-2023-25593) Vulnerabilities within the web-based management interface of ClearPass Policy Manager could allow a remote attacker to conduct a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) attack against a user of the interface. A successful exploit allows an attacker to execute arbitrary script code in a victim's browser in the context of the affected interface. Internal Reference: ATLCP-170, ATLCP-228 Severity: High CVSSv3.x Overall Score: 7.1 CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L Discovery: These vulnerabilities were discovered and reported by the AT&T Security Team and Sicarius(@EIS1carius) of CBP. Authorization Bypass Leading to Privilege Escalation in ClearPass Policy Manager Web-Based Management Interface (CVE-2023-25594) A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of ClearPass Policy Manager allows an attacker with read-only privileges to perform actions that change the state of the ClearPass Policy Manager instance. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability allows an attacker to complete state-changing actions in the web-based management interface that should not be allowed by their current level of authorization on the platform. Internal References: ATLCP-237 Severity: Medium CVSSv3.x Overall Score: 6.3 CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L Discovery: This vulnerability was discovered and reported by the State Bank of India and ING Bank N.V. Sensitive Information Disclosure in ClearPass OnGuard Ubuntu Agent (CVE-2023-25595) A vulnerability exists in the ClearPass OnGuard Ubuntu agent that allows for an attacker with local Ubuntu instance access to potentially obtain sensitive information. Successful Exploitation of this vulnerability allows an attacker to retrieve information that is of a sensitive nature to the ClearPass/OnGuard environment. Internal Reference: ATLCP-231 Severity: Medium CVSSv3.x Overall Score: 5.5 CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N Discovery: This vulnerability was discovered and reported by the security team at Airowire Networks. Authenticated Sensitive Information Disclosure in ClearPass Policy Manager (CVE-2023-25596) A vulnerability exists in ClearPass Policy Manager that allows for an attacker with administrative privileges to access sensitive information in a cleartext format. A successful exploit allows an attacker to retrieve information which could be used to potentially gain further access to network services supported by ClearPass Policy Manager. Internal Reference: ATLCP-236 Severity: Medium CVSSv3.x Overall Score: 4.5 CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N Discovery: This vulnerability was discovered and reported by the Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager engineering team. Workaround To minimize the likelihood of an attacker exploiting these vulnerabilities, Aruba recommends that the CLI and web-based management interfaces for ClearPass Policy Manager be restricted to a dedicated layer 2 segment/VLAN and/or controlled by firewall policies at layer 3 and above.
