CVE-2024-22443
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 conduct a server-side prototype pollution attack. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system leading to complete system compromise.
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 confidenceA server-side prototype pollution vulnerability exists in the web-based management interface of EdgeConnect SD-WAN Orchestrator. An authenticated attacker can exploit this flaw to inject or modify object prototypes, ultimately achieving arbitrary command execution on the underlying operating system with full system compromise as the result.

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 SD-WAN Orchestrator versionAccess the web management interface and navigate to the About or System Information page, or use the CLI command 'show version' if available via SSH or consoleAffected if The displayed version falls within any of these ranges: 9.1.0 to 9.1.9, 9.2.0 to 9.2.9, 9.3.0 to 9.3.2, or 9.4.0 to 9.4.1
-
Verify web management interface accessibilityConfirm the web-based management interface is reachable by accessing the Orchestrator URL over HTTPS on ports 443 or 8443, or whichever port is configuredAffected if The web management interface is exposed and accessible from a network where untrusted users could potentially connect
-
Confirm authentication statusVerify whether valid user accounts exist in the Orchestrator system and check if authentication is required to access the management interfaceAffected if Active user accounts with valid credentials exist for the management interface, as the vulnerability requires an authenticated attacker to exploit the prototype pollution flaw
You are affected if the installed Orchestrator version is within the affected ranges AND the web management interface is accessible with valid authentication credentials.

dbcve · scoped9.1.109.2.109.3.3
Apply the vendor-provided patch for CVE-2024-22443 and restrict access to the management interface to trusted internal IP addresses only. Additionally, review user accounts with access to the Orchestrator for necessity and rotate credentials as a precautionary measure.
Upgrade to 9.1.10 (for 9.1.x), 9.2.10 (for 9.2.x), 9.3.3 (for 9.3.x), or 9.4.2 (for 9.4.x)
- Identify the currently installed EdgeConnect SD-WAN Orchestrator version using the web interface or CLI
- If running 9.1.x, upgrade to version 9.1.10 or later
- If running 9.2.x, upgrade to version 9.2.10 or later
- If running 9.3.x, upgrade to version 9.3.3 or later
- If running 9.4.x, upgrade to version 9.4.2 or later
- Obtain the upgrade package from the HPE support portal (support.hpe.com)
- Schedule a maintenance window and follow HPE's standard upgrade procedure for EdgeConnect Orchestrator
- After upgrade, verify the management interface is accessible and confirm the new version number
