CVE-2025-37100
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 APIs of HPE Aruba Networking Private 5G Core could potentially expose sensitive information to unauthorized users. A successful exploitation could allow an attacker to iteratively navigate through the filesystem and ultimately download protected system files containing sensitive information.
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 confidenceA path traversal vulnerability in HPE Aruba Networking Private 5G Core APIs allows unauthorized users to iteratively navigate the filesystem and download protected system files containing sensitive information. The vulnerability stems from insufficient input validation on API endpoints.

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.
-
Confirm HPE Aruba Private 5G Core is deployedInventory your environment for HPE Aruba Networking Private 5G Core components. Check for running services, installed packages, or container images related to this product.Affected if The product is present in the environment
-
Identify the installed versionLocate the version of HPE Aruba Networking Private 5G Core installed. This may be found in product documentation, installed package metadata, container image tags, or by querying the system directly. Compare this version against any version information provided by HPE for this CVE.Affected if The installed version matches the vulnerable version range published by HPE for CVE-2025-37100
-
Determine if API endpoints are exposedReview network configuration, firewall rules, and API gateway settings to identify whether the Private 5G Core API endpoints are accessible from network locations where unauthorized users could reach them.Affected if API endpoints are accessible from untrusted networks or to unauthenticated users
-
Verify API authentication is enforcedExamine the API configuration and authentication settings. Check whether the API enforces proper authentication and authorization for all endpoints, and whether input validation on path parameters is implemented.Affected if API endpoints lack proper authentication or do not validate/sanitize path traversal inputs
-
Inspect API endpoint configurationsReview API configuration files and endpoint definitions to identify whether path parameters are used without adequate validation routines that prevent directory traversal sequences like ../Affected if API endpoints accept user-supplied path parameters without traversal protection
You are affected if HPE Aruba Networking Private 5G Core is deployed, the installed version falls within the vulnerable range, and API endpoints are accessible without proper path validation controls.

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.
From vendor dataImplement strict input validation and path sanitization on all API endpoints to prevent directory traversal. Apply vendor-provided patches when available and restrict API access to authorized personnel only.
