Authenticated credential disclosure through REST access-control failure
Published Mar 18, 2025 · Updated Mar 18, 2025
Information disclosure in the AOS-CX REST interface allows remote authenticated users with low privileges to read other users' encrypted credentials. HPE has not published the affected REST endpoint or the access-control operation that exposes credentials belonging to other switch users. A low-privileged account and network access to the REST interface are required; the documented impact is disclosure of encrypted credentials, not their plaintext recovery.
