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 EdgeConnect SD-WAN Orchestrator could allow an authenticated remote attacker to conduct SQL injection attacks against the EdgeConnect SD-WAN Orchestrator instance. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to     obtain and modify sensitive information in the underlying database potentially leading to the exposure and corruption of sensitive data controlled by the EdgeConnect SD-WAN Orchestrator host.

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

SQL injection vulnerabilities in EdgeConnect SD-WAN Orchestrator's web-based management interface allow authenticated attackers to inject malicious SQL queries. Successful exploitation enables attackers to read or modify sensitive data in the underlying database.

MitigationApply vendor-provided patches or upgrade to a patched version of EdgeConnect SD-WAN Orchestrator. As a defense-in-depth measure, implement strict input validation and use parameterized queries for database interactions.

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 the EdgeConnect SD-WAN Orchestrator version
    Log into the web management interface and navigate to the 'About' or 'System Information' page, typically found under Settings or Help. Alternatively, access the CLI and run commands such as 'show version' or 'show system-info' to retrieve the installed software version.
    Affected if The displayed version number is lower than 9.3.1 (for example, 9.2.x, 9.1.x, or earlier releases).
  2. Confirm the web-based management interface is accessible
    Attempt to reach the EdgeConnect Orchestrator web portal via its configured IP address or hostname on the standard HTTPS port (default 443). Verify the service is listening and responding to HTTP/HTTPS requests.
    Affected if The web management interface is reachable from a network segment accessible to potential attackers, even if authentication is required for exploitation.
  3. Verify authentication controls on the management interface
    Review the authentication configuration for the web interface. Check whether local database authentication, LDAP, or other authentication methods are configured and enforced. Inspect the login page response and session handling.
    Affected if The management interface accepts authentication credentials, as this CVE requires an authenticated attacker to inject SQL queries.
  4. Review database user privileges
    If you have administrative access to the underlying database (PostgreSQL or MySQL, depending on the deployment), query the database user permissions to determine whether the application database user has excessive privileges beyond what is necessary for normal operation.
    Affected if The application database user has privileges that allow reading or modifying sensitive data beyond its intended scope.

Your environment is affected if the installed EdgeConnect SD-WAN Orchestrator version is below 9.3.1 and the web-based management interface is accessible, since successful authentication to the interface would enable SQL injection exploitation.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 9.3.1 or later
Fixed in 9.3.1
Interim mitigation

Apply vendor-provided patches or upgrade to a patched version of EdgeConnect SD-WAN Orchestrator. As a defense-in-depth measure, implement strict input validation and use parameterized queries for database interactions.

Recommended fix High confidence

EdgeConnect SD-WAN Orchestrator 9.3.1 or later

  1. Backup the EdgeConnect SD-WAN Orchestrator configuration before upgrading
  2. Download EdgeConnect SD-WAN Orchestrator version 9.3.1 or later from the Aruba support portal
  3. Follow Aruba's official upgrade documentation to apply the update
  4. After upgrading, verify the orchestrator is functioning correctly
  5. Confirm the SQL injection vulnerability is resolved by attempting the previously vulnerable operations
