CVE-2022-37934Network attack vector

Authenticated file disclosure via undisclosed path traversal

Published Jan 3, 2023 · Updated Apr 10, 2025

Path traversal in HPE OfficeConnect 1820 and 1850 switch firmware allows remote authenticated users to read files outside a restricted directory. HPE identifies remote directory traversal but does not disclose the affected endpoint or the path-handling operation performed on untrusted input. High-privilege authentication is required, and the vendor assessment limits the consequence to confidentiality loss without file modification or service interruption.
