CVE-2023-1096Network attack vector

Unauthenticated administrative access

Published May 12, 2023 · Updated Jan 27, 2025

Authentication bypass in NetApp SnapCenter 4.7 before 4.7P2 and 4.8 before 4.8P1 allows remote attackers to gain admin access. NetApp has not published the affected endpoint or the authentication check omitted when an unauthenticated request is processed. Network reachability to the SnapCenter Server is the only published gate, and successful exploitation grants administrative control over its backup-management functions.
