CVE-2026-95761: Authenticated Improper Certificate Validation leads to Information Disclosure in HPE Networking Fabric Composer

MediumCVSS 5.9 · v3.1—No exploit No fix recorded

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 23/100)

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: 0.12% (FIRST EPSS).
Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. Special conditions such as timing or configuration are required.
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.

Root cause

A certificate validation error is silently swallowed instead of terminating the connection. Often, code added for a test environment makes its way into production.
