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
A vulnerability exists in an Orchestrator service that could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to bypass multi-factor authentication requirements. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to create an admin user account without the necessary multi-factor authentication, thereby compromising the integrity of secured access to the system.

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 confidence

An unauthenticated remote attacker can bypass multi-factor authentication in an Orchestrator service, allowing them to create an admin user account without completing MFA verification. This effectively grants full administrative access to the system without proper identity verification.

MitigationApply vendor-provided patches immediately to address the MFA bypass vulnerability. Until patched, consider disabling remote administrative access to the Orchestrator service or implementing additional network-level access controls.

Verify against the referenced sources before acting — the references below are authoritative for this CVE, this summary is not.

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 Orchestrator software version
    Log into the Orchestrator admin interface and navigate to Dashboard > System > Software, or use the CLI command 'show version' if you have CLI access. The version number will be displayed prominently.
    Affected if The installed version matches one of the affected ranges: 9.2.0 through 9.2.10, 9.3.0 through 9.3.5, 9.4.0 through 9.4.2, 9.5.0 through 9.5.5, or exactly 9.6.0
  2. Verify whether remote administrative access is enabled
    In the Orchestrator web interface, go to Configuration > Security > Access Control or Configuration > Administration > Remote Access. Look for settings that enable remote admin login over HTTP/HTTPS from external networks.
    Affected if Remote administrative access is enabled and the Orchestrator is reachable from untrusted networks
  3. Confirm MFA enforcement status for administrator accounts
    Navigate to Configuration > Security > Multi-Factor Authentication or Configuration > Administration > Users. Verify whether MFA is globally enforced for all admin accounts and that the enforcement cannot be bypassed during user creation.
    Affected if MFA is not enforced, or enforcement can be bypassed when creating new admin users

A user is affected if their Orchestrator version falls within the listed vulnerable ranges AND remote administrative access is enabled, allowing unauthenticated attackers to potentially create admin accounts without MFA verification.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 9.3.6 / 9.4.3 / 9.5.6 or later
Fixed in 9.3.69.4.39.5.6
Interim mitigation

Apply vendor-provided patches immediately to address the MFA bypass vulnerability. Until patched, consider disabling remote administrative access to the Orchestrator service or implementing additional network-level access controls.

Recommended fix High confidence

Upgrade to 9.3.6 (if on 9.3.x), 9.4.3 (if on 9.4.x), or 9.5.6 (if on 9.5.x) - or migrate to the latest available release in your supported branch

  1. 1. Access the EdgeConnect SD-WAN Orchestrator administrative interface
  2. 2. Navigate to System > Administration > Software Management or similar upgrade section
  3. 3. Download the appropriate patched version from HPE support portal (support.hpe.com)
  4. 4. Create a backup of the current configuration
  5. 5. Upload and install the patched software version (9.3.6, 9.4.3, or 9.5.6 depending on your current branch)
  6. 6. Verify the upgrade completed successfully
  7. 7. Confirm MFA enforcement is functioning properly by testing authentication flows
Caveat Review HPE release notes for your target version for any configuration or feature changes; test thoroughly in staging before production deployment
