CVE-2023-37427
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 · uneditedA vulnerability in the web-based management interface of EdgeConnect SD-WAN Orchestrator could allow an authenticated remote attacker to run arbitrary commands on the underlying host. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability allows an attacker to execute arbitrary commands as root on the underlying operating system leading to complete system compromise.

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 productLocate the EdgeConnect SD-WAN Orchestrator instance in your environment. This is typically a virtual appliance or hardware appliance providing SD-WAN orchestration services.Affected if The target system is not Aruba Networks EdgeConnect SD-WAN Orchestrator.
-
Determine the installed versionAccess the web-based management interface and navigate to the system information or about page to find the software version. Alternatively, check the appliance console or API for version details.Affected if The installed version falls within these ranges: 9.0.0-9.0.5, 9.1.0-9.1.7, 9.2.0-9.2.5, or 9.3.0 exactly.
-
Verify web management interface accessibilityConfirm whether the web-based management interface is exposed to the network. Attempt to access the management URL from a non-local network segment or conduct a port scan for HTTP/HTTPS services on the orchestrator.Affected if The web management interface is accessible from untrusted networks.
-
Check authentication configurationReview user accounts and authentication settings for the management interface. Determine if default or weak credentials are in use, or if the authentication mechanism can be bypassed.Affected if An attacker can obtain valid authentication credentials to access the management interface.
Your environment is affected if you are running EdgeConnect SD-WAN Orchestrator versions 9.0.0-9.0.5, 9.1.0-9.1.7, 9.2.0-9.2.5, or 9.3.0, and the web management interface is accessible to an attacker who can obtain valid credentials.
