CVE-2026-76688Network attack vector

Unauthenticated administrative access via web authentication bypass

Published Sep 15, 2026 · Updated Sep 22, 2026

Authentication bypass in HPE Networking EdgeConnect SD-WAN Orchestrator 9.4.0 through 9.7.0 allows remote attackers to gain administrative access. The web management interface fails to enforce existing authentication controls, but HPE does not identify the affected requests or checks. Exploitation requires user interaction but no authentication; successful access grants administrator privileges and can compromise the host.
