CVE-2022-37914
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.

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 installed EdgeConnect Enterprise Orchestrator versionAccess the orchestrator administrative console and navigate to System > About or use the CLI command 'show version' to retrieve the exact software version numberAffected if The installed version is below 8.10.23.40009, between 9.0.0 and 9.0.7.40108 (exclusive), or between 9.1.0 and 9.1.3.40197 (exclusive)
-
Confirm web-based management interface is enabledCheck the orchestrator configuration for web management interface status via CLI: 'show web-server' or through the administrative console under System > Management > Web InterfaceAffected if The web-based management interface is enabled and accessible
-
Verify network exposure of management interfaceReview firewall rules or access control lists that govern access to the orchestrator's web management port (default 443) to determine if it is exposed to untrusted networksAffected if The web management interface is reachable from networks outside trusted internal networks
-
Audit administrator accounts for unauthorized changesReview the list of administrative users in the orchestrator under System > Administrators and check for any unknown or unexpected accounts added after the patch timelineAffected if Unexpected administrator accounts exist that were not created by authorized personnel
The environment is affected if the installed EdgeConnect Enterprise Orchestrator version falls within the vulnerable ranges (below 8.10.23.40009, 9.0.x before 9.0.7.40108, or 9.1.x before 9.1.3.40197) AND the web-based management interface is enabled and exposed to network access.

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.

Apply the vendor-supplied patch to upgrade to versions above 9.1.2.40051, 9.0.7.40108, and 8.10.23.40009. Restrict web management interface exposure to trusted networks until patched.
Aruba EdgeConnect Enterprise Orchestrator: 8.10.23.40009 or later for 8.x, 9.0.7.40108 or later for 9.0.x, 9.1.3.40197 or later for 9.1.x
- Identify the current version of Aruba EdgeConnect Enterprise Orchestrator by checking the web interface or running the appropriate show version command
- Backup the current configuration and any critical data before proceeding with the upgrade
- Download the appropriate fixed version from Aruba's official support portal: for 8.10.x branch use 8.10.23.40009 or later, for 9.0.x branch use 9.0.7.40108 or later, for 9.1.x branch use 9.1.3.40197 or later
- Upload the upgrade package through the Orchestrator web interface or CLI following Aruba's standard upgrade procedures
- Reboot the Orchestrator if required by the upgrade process
- After upgrade, verify the version has been updated correctly and confirm the authentication mechanism is functioning properly by attempting to log in with valid credentials
