CVE-2022-37913
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 · uneditedVulnerabilities in the web-based management interface of Aruba EdgeConnect Enterprise Orchestrator could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to bypass authentication. Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to gain administrative privileges leading to a complete compromise of the Aruba EdgeConnect Enterprise Orchestrator with versions 9.1.2.40051 and below, 9.0.7.40108 and below, 8.10.23.40009 and below, and any older branches of Orchestrator not specifically mentioned.
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 confidenceAuthentication bypass in Aruba EdgeConnect Enterprise Orchestrator web-based management interface allows unauthenticated remote attackers to gain administrative privileges, resulting in complete system compromise. The vulnerability affects multiple version branches (9.1.x, 9.0.x, 8.10.x) and older releases.

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 Aruba EdgeConnect Enterprise Orchestrator installationCheck system for EdgeConnect Enterprise Orchestrator by examining running processes, installed packages, or the web management interface at the expected URL (typically /ecp). Look for 'Aruba' or 'EdgeConnect' in process names or service descriptions.Affected if The product is installed on the system.
-
Determine installed version numberAccess the Orchestrator web management interface and navigate to the About or System Information page to retrieve the exact version string. Alternatively, use the CLI command 'show version' or 'system show software-info' if SSH access is available.Affected if The retrieved version is a specific release that can be compared against the affected ranges.
-
Compare version against affected rangesMatch the installed version string against these affected ranges: versions below 8.10.23.40009, versions 9.0.0 through 9.0.7.40107, and versions 9.1.0 through 9.1.3.40196. Any version falling within these ranges is vulnerable.Affected if The installed version falls within any of these ranges: < 8.10.23.40009, >= 9.0.0 and < 9.0.7.40108, or >= 9.1.0 and < 9.1.3.40197.
-
Verify management interface accessibilityConfirm the web-based management interface (ECP) is reachable on the network. This can be done by attempting to access the management URL from a browser or using a network scan to identify open HTTP/HTTPS ports on the Orchestrator host.Affected if The management interface is network-accessible (this condition alone does not confirm exploitation but is required for the vulnerability to be remotely exploitable).
The system is affected if Aruba EdgeConnect Enterprise Orchestrator is installed with a version matching the affected ranges AND the web management interface is network-accessible.

dbcve · scoped8.10.23.400099.0.7.401089.1.3.40197
Update Aruba EdgeConnect Enterprise Orchestrator to patched versions beyond 9.1.2.40051, 9.0.7.40108, and 8.10.23.40009. Until patched, restrict management interface access to trusted networks via firewall or VPN.
Aruba EdgeConnect Enterprise Orchestrator: 8.10.23.40009 or later (8.x branch); 9.0.7.40108 or later (9.0.x branch); 9.1.3.40197 or later (9.1.x branch)
- 1. Identify the currently installed Aruba EdgeConnect Enterprise Orchestrator version
- 2. Determine which version branch is in use (8.x, 9.0.x, or 9.1.x)
- 3. For version 8.x: Upgrade to version 8.10.23.40009 or later
- 4. For version 9.0.x: Upgrade to version 9.0.7.40108 or later
- 5. For version 9.1.x: Upgrade to version 9.1.3.40197 or later
- 6. After upgrade, verify the web-based management interface is accessible and functioning correctly
- 7. Change all administrative credentials as a precaution since exploitation could have allowed privilege escalation
- 8. Review audit logs for any unauthorized administrative access attempts
