CVE-2023-25593Network attack vector

Browser script execution via undisclosed reflected input

Published Mar 14, 2023 · Updated Feb 27, 2025

Reflected XSS in HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Policy Manager 6.11.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to run scripts in a user’s browser. The vendor identifies the web-based management interface but does not disclose the affected endpoint, parameter, or failed output-encoding operation. A victim must interact with the crafted request; successful exploitation runs arbitrary code in the interface’s browser context.
