Details Apache Struts Version Upgrade Addressing Command Injection Vulnerability In ClearPass Policy Manager (CVE-2023-50164) An attacker can manipulate file upload params to enable paths traversal and under some circumstances this can lead to uploading a malicious file which can be used to perform Remote Code Execution. The impact of this vulnerability on ClearPass Policy Manager has not been confirmed, but the version of Apache Struts has been upgraded for mitigation. HPE Aruba Networking is not aware of any malicious exploitation of this vulnerability. Internal References: ATLCP-266 Severity: Critical CVSSv3.x 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 Steven Seeley. Please see the following link for more details: https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2023/12/07/1 Workaround: To minimize the likelihood of an attacker exploiting this vulnerability, HPE Aruba Networking recommends that the web-based management interfaces be restricted to a dedicated layer 2 segment/VLAN and/or controlled by firewall policies at layer 3 and above. Authenticated Remote Command Injection in ClearPass Policy Manager Web-Based Management Interface (CVE-2024-26294, CVE-2024-26295, CVE-2024-26296, CVE-2024-26297, CVE-2024-26298) Vulnerabilities in the ClearPass Policy Manager web-based management interface allow remote authenticated users to run arbitrary commands on the underlying host. A successful exploit could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary commands as root on the underlying operating system leading to complete system compromise. Internal References: ATLCP-222, ATLCP-247, ATLCP-253, ATLCP-256, ATLCP-259 Severity: High CVSSv3.x Overall Score: 7.2 CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H Discovery: These vulnerabilities were discovered and reported by Daniel Jensen (@dozernz) and Kajetan Rostojek via HPE Aruba Networking's Bug Bounty Program. Workaround: To minimize the likelihood of an attacker exploiting this vulnerability, HPE Aruba Networking recommends that the web-based management interfaces be restricted to a dedicated layer 2 segment/VLAN and/or controlled by firewall policies at layer 3 and above. Authenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability (XSS) in ClearPass Policy Manager Admin Interface (CVE-2024-26299) A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of ClearPass Policy Manager could allow an authenticated remote attacker to conduct a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) attack against an administrative 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 references: ATLCP-246 Severity: Medium CVSSv3 Overall Score: 6.6 CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L Discovery: This vulnerability was discovered and reported by S4thi5h via HPE Aruba Networking's Bug Bounty Program. Workaround: To minimize the likelihood of an attacker exploiting this vulnerability, HPE Aruba Networking recommends that the web-based management interfaces be restricted to a dedicated layer 2 segment/VLAN and/or controlled by firewall policies at layer 3 and above. Authenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability (XSS) in ClearPass Policy Manager Guest Interface (CVE-2024-26300) A vulnerability in the guest interface of ClearPass Policy Manager could allow an authenticated remote attacker to conduct a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) attack against an administrative 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 References: ATLCP-254 Severity: Medium CVSSv3.x Overall Score: 6.6 CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L Discovery: This vulnerability was discovered and reported by Kajetan Rostojek via HPE Aruba Networking's Bug Bounty Program. Workaround: To minimize the likelihood of an attacker exploiting this vulnerability, HPE Aruba Networking recommends that the web-based management interfaces be restricted to a dedicated layer 2 segment/VLAN and/or controlled by firewall policies at layer 3 and above. Authenticated Information Disclosure in ClearPass Policy Manager (CVE-2024-26301) 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 access to network services supported by ClearPass Policy Manager. Internal Reference: ATLCP-203 Severity: Medium CVSSv3 Overall Score: 6.5 CVSS Vector: CVSS:v3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N Discovery: This vulnerability was discovered and reported by Niels De Carpentier. Workaround: To minimize the likelihood of an attacker exploiting this vulnerability, HPE Aruba Networking recommends that the web-based management interfaces be restricted to a dedicated layer 2 segment/VLAN and/or controlled by firewall policies at layer 3 and above. Authenticated Sensitive Information Disclosure in ClearPass Policy Manager (CVE-2024-26302) 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-269 Severity: Medium CVSSv3.x Overall Score: 4.8 CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N Discovery: This vulnerability was discovered and reported by the Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager engineering team.
