CVE-2025-37111
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 was discovered in the storage policy for certain sets of authentication keys in the HPE Telco Network Function Virtual Orchestrator. Successful Exploitation could lead to unauthorized parties gaining access to sensitive system 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 confidenceVulnerability in HPE Telco Network Function Virtual Orchestrator allows unauthorized access to sensitive system information due to improper storage policy for certain authentication key sets. The weakness permits exposure of authentication keys that should be protected.

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 TNFO installationIdentify if HPE Telco Network Function Virtual Orchestrator is installed in the environment. Check for installation directories, running services, or use system inventory tools to locate the product.Affected if HPE Telco Network Function Virtual Orchestrator is present on the system
-
Locate authentication key storageExamine the configuration and data directories where authentication keys are stored. Common paths may include /opt/hpe/tnfo/, /var/lib/tnfo/, or application config directories. Look for keyfiles, keystores, or credential storage locations.Affected if Authentication keys are found stored in plaintext or with weak encryption in configuration or data directories
-
Check file permissions on key storageInspect file system permissions on directories and files containing authentication keys. Use 'ls -la' or equivalent commands to verify that only authorized system accounts can read these files.Affected if Key storage files are readable by non-privileged users or have overly permissive access controls
-
Review key storage policy configurationExamine application configuration files for settings related to key storage, encryption, and protection policies. Look for parameters controlling how authentication keys are stored and protected.Affected if Configuration shows keys stored without encryption, or storage policy settings indicate weak protection mechanisms
-
Scan for exposed credentialsSearch configuration files, scripts, and data stores for hardcoded or stored authentication keys, tokens, or secrets that may be exposed. Use grep or file search tools to identify patterns matching API keys, passwords, or certificateprivate keys.Affected if Authentication keys are found stored in plaintext, committed to configuration, or accessible without authentication
A system is affected if HPE Telco Network Function Virtual Orchestrator is installed and authentication keys are stored without proper encryption, access controls, or secure storage mechanisms.

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 dataReview and remediate the storage policy for authentication keys to ensure proper encryption, access controls, and secure storage mechanisms are in place.
