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 · unedited
Multiple vulnerabilities in the web-based management interface of Aruba EdgeConnect Enterprise Orchestrator could allow an authenticated remote attacker to conduct SQL injection attacks against the Aruba EdgeConnect Enterprise Orchestrator instance. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to obtain and modify sensitive information in the underlying database potentially leading to complete compromise of the Aruba EdgeConnect Enterprise Orchestrator host in Aruba EdgeConnect Enterprise Orchestration Software version(s): Aruba EdgeConnect Enterprise Orchestrator (on-premises), Aruba EdgeConnect Enterprise Orchestrator-as-a-Service, Aruba EdgeConnect Enterprise Orchestrator-SP and Aruba EdgeConnect Enterprise Orchestrator Global Enterprise Tenant Orchestrators - Orchestrator 9.2.1.40179 and below, - Orchestrator 9.1.4.40436 and below, - Orchestrator 9.0.7.40110 and below, - Orchestrator 8.10.23.40015 and below, - 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 confidence

Authenticated remote attackers can conduct SQL injection attacks through the web-based management interface of Aruba EdgeConnect Enterprise Orchestrator. The vulnerabilities allow attackers to inject malicious SQL queries to obtain and modify sensitive data in the underlying database, potentially leading to complete host compromise.

MitigationUpgrade Aruba EdgeConnect Enterprise Orchestrator to a version newer than the affected branches (9.2.1.40179, 9.1.4.40436, 9.0.7.40110, 8.10.23.40015) per Aruba's official guidance.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify installed EdgeConnect Orchestrator version
    Access the web-based management interface or check system documentation for the currently running software version number
    Affected if The installed version falls within any of these ranges: <= 8.10.23.40015, 9.0.0 through 9.0.7.40110, 9.1.0 through 9.1.4.40436, or 9.2.0 through 9.2.1.40179
  2. Confirm web-based management interface is enabled
    Verify that the web-based management interface is accessible and operational on the Orchestrator device
    Affected if The web-based management interface is exposed and reachable on the network
  3. Check remote authentication configuration
    Review the authentication settings to determine if remote administrative access is permitted
    Affected if Remote authentication is enabled, allowing external attackers to obtain valid credentials and exploit the SQL injection flaw
  4. Verify network exposure of management interface
    Determine if the management interface is accessible from untrusted networks or the internet
    Affected if The web interface is directly exposed to untrusted networks without proper network segmentation or VPN requirements

You are affected if your installed EdgeConnect Enterprise Orchestrator version is within the affected ranges AND the web-based management interface is accessible to authenticated attackers.

Upgrade available Upgrade to a release after 9.2.1.40179
Interim mitigation

Upgrade Aruba EdgeConnect Enterprise Orchestrator to a version newer than the affected branches (9.2.1.40179, 9.1.4.40436, 9.0.7.40110, 8.10.23.40015) per Aruba's official guidance.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

Upgrade to the next available stable release beyond your current branch (e.g., for 9.2.x branch, move to 9.2.2 or later; for 9.1.x, move to 9.1.5 or later; for 9.0.x, move to 9.0.8 or later; for 8.10.x, move to 8.10.24 or later). Check Aruba's official release notes for the exact first fixed version

  1. 1. Identify the currently installed Aruba EdgeConnect Enterprise Orchestrator version by checking the web management interface or running the version command on the CLI.
  2. 2. Based on your current version branch, upgrade to a version that is newer than the vulnerable versions listed: 8.10.23.40015, 9.0.7.40110, 9.1.4.40436, or 9.2.1.40179.
  3. 3. Download the appropriate upgrade package from the Aruba Customer Support portal or official distribution channels.
  4. 4. Review the upgrade documentation and release notes for any prerequisites, including backup requirements.
  5. 5. Perform a complete backup of the Orchestrator configuration and database before initiating the upgrade.
  6. 6. Schedule a maintenance window as the upgrade may require service interruption.
  7. 7. Follow the documented upgrade procedure to apply the new version.
  8. 8. After upgrade, verify the SQL injection vulnerability is resolved by confirming the new version number and testing that parameterized queries are used.
Caveat Review Aruba's release notes for your specific upgrade path as some upgrades may require intermediate steps or have specific migration requirements.
