CVE-2022-43520Network attack vector

Authenticated database read and write via SQL injection

Published Jan 3, 2023 · Updated Apr 10, 2025

SQL injection in the web management interface of HPE Aruba EdgeConnect SD-WAN Orchestrator allows remote authenticated users to alter its database. HPE has not disclosed which web-interface endpoint or database query fails to neutralize attacker-controlled SQL syntax. A valid Orchestrator account and management-interface access are required; exploitation exposes and modifies sensitive database data, with host compromise as the stated upper bound.
