CVE-2024-54010: Unauthenticated Traffic Handling Flaw Allows Packet Leakage on HPE Aruba Networking CX 10000 series switches
First published: Wed Jan 08 2025(Updated: )
A vulnerability in the firewall component of HPE Aruba Networking CX 10000 Series Switches exists. It could allow an unauthenticated adjacent attacker to conduct a packet forwarding attack against the ICMP and UDP protocol. For this attack to be successful an attacker requires a switch configuration that allows packets routing (at layer 3). Configurations that do not allow network traffic routing are not impacted. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to bypass security policies, potentially leading to unauthorized data exposure.
