CVE-2025-37181
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 · uneditedVulnerabilities in the web-based management interface of EdgeConnect SD-WAN Orchestrator could allow an authenticated remote attacker to perform SQL injection attacks. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary SQL commands on the underlying database, potentially leading to unauthorized data access or data manipulation.
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 confidenceSQL injection vulnerabilities in the web-based management interface of EdgeConnect SD-WAN Orchestrator allow authenticated remote attackers to inject arbitrary SQL commands through unsanitized input fields, potentially enabling unauthorized data access or manipulation of the underlying database.

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 if EdgeConnect web management interface is accessibleDetermine if the Orchestrator web UI is exposed and reachable on the network. Check if TCP ports typically used for the web interface (such as 443, 8443, or vendor-defined ports) are open and responding.Affected if The web-based management interface is exposed and accessible to network attackers, enabling them to reach the login page and attempt authentication.
-
Locate the installed version of EdgeConnect SD-WAN OrchestratorAccess the Orchestrator web interface login page or admin dashboard, where version information is typically displayed. Alternatively, check the system console or CLI for a 'show version' or 'version' command that displays the running software version.Affected if Unable to determine the version, making it impossible to compare against the affected ranges.
-
Compare the installed version against affected rangesMatch the identified version to the following affected ranges: 9.2.0 through 9.2.10, 9.3.0 through 9.3.6, 9.4.0 through 9.4.4, 9.5.0 through 9.5.5, or exactly version 9.6.0. Any version falling within or matching these ranges is vulnerable.Affected if The installed version falls within or matches any of the following ranges: 9.2.0-9.2.10, 9.3.0-9.3.6, 9.4.0-9.4.4, 9.5.0-9.5.5, or equals 9.6.0.
-
Confirm authentication to the web interface is possibleVerify that valid user credentials exist for the Orchestrator web management interface. This includes local admin accounts, LDAP-integrated accounts, or other authentication methods supported by the platform.Affected if User accounts exist that can authenticate to the web interface, allowing the SQL injection to be exploited by any authenticated user with access to input fields.
A user is affected if the EdgeConnect SD-WAN Orchestrator web management interface is accessible, a valid user can authenticate to it, and the installed software version falls within the listed vulnerable ranges.

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.
dbcve · scoped9.5.6
Apply vendor-supplied patches when available; until then, implement input validation, use parameterized queries, restrict database privileges to least privilege, and consider deploying a WAF with SQL injection detection rules.
Upgrade to version 9.5.6 or later for the 9.5.x branch; for older branches, upgrade to the latest version in that branch that includes the security fix (9.2.11+, 9.3.7+, 9.4.5+, or migrate to 9.5.6+)
- 1. Identify the current installed version of EdgeConnect SD-WAN Orchestrator from the web-based management interface or system information.
- 2. Determine which version branch you are currently running (9.2.x, 9.3.x, 9.4.x, or 9.5.x).
- 3. Download the appropriate fixed version from HPE support portal at support.hpe.com.
- 4. Schedule a maintenance window as the upgrade will require a brief service interruption.
- 5. Back up the current configuration and database as a precautionary measure.
- 6. Follow the standard EdgeConnect SD-WAN Orchestrator upgrade procedure documented in the HPE administration guide.
- 7. After upgrade, verify the new version is running and test that the web-based management interface is functional.
- 8. Confirm the SQL injection vulnerability is resolved by verifying the fix is applied.
