CVE-2023-30507
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 · uneditedMultiple authenticated path traversal vulnerabilities exist in the Aruba EdgeConnect Enterprise command line interface. Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities result in the ability to read arbitrary files on the underlying operating system, including sensitive system files.
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 · moderate confidenceMultiple authenticated path traversal vulnerabilities exist in the Aruba EdgeConnect Enterprise command line interface. Successful exploitation allows authenticated attackers to read arbitrary files on the underlying operating system, including sensitive system files, by manipulating path traversal sequences in CLI commands.

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 the installed EdgeConnect Enterprise versionAccess the CLI or web management interface and retrieve the system version information. In CLI, this is typically shown at login or via a 'show version' or 'show system info' command.Affected if The version number falls within any of these ranges: <= 9.0.8.0, >= 9.1.0.0 through 9.1.5.0, or >= 9.2.0.0 through 9.2.3.0
-
Confirm CLI access is enabled and exposedVerify that the command line interface is accessible. This may be through SSH, console, or a management web interface that provides CLI functionality.Affected if CLI access is enabled and reachable from a network where untrusted users could obtain valid credentials
-
Audit CLI user accountsReview the list of configured CLI users and their privilege levels. Check for any unauthorized or unexpected accounts that may indicate credential compromise.Affected if There are unexpected CLI users or evidence that credentials have been compromised
-
Review CLI command logs for path traversal patternsExamine CLI audit logs, if available, for commands containing sequences like '../' or absolute paths that may indicate exploitation attempts.Affected if Logs show CLI commands with path traversal sequences accessing files outside expected directories
You are affected if your EdgeConnect Enterprise version is <= 9.0.8.0, between 9.1.0.0-9.1.5.0, or between 9.2.0.0-9.2.3.0 AND your CLI is accessible to authenticated users.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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.
dbcve · scopedApply the vendor-supplied patch for Aruba EdgeConnect Enterprise. Until patch availability, restrict CLI access to trusted users only and monitor for anomalous file access patterns.
9.0.9.0 or later for 9.0.x branch; 9.1.6.0 or later for 9.1.x branch; 9.2.4.0 or later for 9.2.x branch
- 1. Identify the currently running EdgeConnect Enterprise version using the CLI command 'show version'
- 2. Determine which version branch your current installation falls into (9.0.x, 9.1.x, or 9.2.x)
- 3. For branch 9.0.x: Upgrade to version 9.0.9.0 or later
- 4. For branch 9.1.x: Upgrade to version 9.1.6.0 or later
- 5. For branch 9.2.x: Upgrade to version 9.2.4.0 or later
- 6. Download the appropriate upgrade package from the Aruba Support Portal (https://asp.arubanetworks.com)
- 7. Upload the upgrade package to the EdgeConnect appliance via SCP or the web UI
- 8. Execute the upgrade via CLI using 'upgrade <package-name>' or via the web UI under System > Maintenance > Upgrade
