CVE-2020-24641
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedIn Aruba AirWave Glass before 1.3.3, there is a Server-Side Request Forgery vulnerability through an unauthenticated endpoint that if successfully exploited can result in disclosure of sensitive information. This can be used to perform an authentication bypass and ultimately gain administrative access on the web administrative interface.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceAruba AirWave Glass versions before 1.3.3 contain an unauthenticated Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability that allows attackers to make the server perform arbitrary requests to internal or external resources. This SSRF can be exploited to disclose sensitive information, bypass authentication mechanisms, and ultimately gain administrative access to the web administrative interface.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify if Aruba AirWave Glass is installedCheck for the AirWave Glass web application in your environment by reviewing installed software, running services, or consulting your asset inventory for 'AirWave Glass' or 'Aruba AirWave' components.Affected if The product is present in your environment.
-
Determine the installed version of AirWave GlassAccess the AirWave Glass web interface and navigate to the administration or about page to view the software version, or check the version via the command line if you have direct server access.Affected if The installed version is anything below 1.3.3.
-
Verify the management interface is network accessibleDetermine whether the AirWave Glass web interface is exposed to the network by reviewing firewall rules, access control lists, or by attempting to reach the management URL from an unauthorized network segment.Affected if The management interface is accessible from untrusted networks (such as the internet or guest VLANs).
-
Review web access logs for SSRF indicatorsExamine the AirWave Glass web server logs for suspicious requests, particularly those containing internal IP addresses (127.0.0.1, 10.x.x.x, 192.168.x.x), internal hostnames, or unusual URL patterns that may indicate SSRF probing.Affected if Log analysis reveals requests to internal resources that were not initiated by legitimate administrative actions.
Your environment is affected if Aruba AirWave Glass version 1.3.3 or later is not installed AND the management interface is network accessible.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor data1.3.3
Upgrade Aruba AirWave Glass to version 1.3.3 or later to remediate this vulnerability. If immediate upgrade is not possible, restrict network access to the management interface and monitor for suspicious SSRF patterns.
