CVE-2024-53672: Authenticated Remote Command Injection in HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Policy Manager Web-Based Management Interface

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 25/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.41% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • According to the record, no fixed version is available yet.

Low priority for now. Update when a fix is released; follow the vendor's advisory.

Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

A vulnerability in the ClearPass Policy Manager web-based management interface allows remote authenticated users to run arbitrary commands on the underlying host. Successful exploit could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary commands as a lower privileged user on the underlying operating system.
