A vulnerability in the HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Policy Manager web-based management interface could allow an authenticated remote Attacker to conduct a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. Successful exploitation could enable a threat actor to perform any actions the user is authorized to do, including accessing the user's data and altering information within the user's permissions. This could lead to data modification, deletion, or theft, including unauthorized access to files, file deletion, or the theft of session cookies, which an attacker could use to hijack a user's session.
This vulnerability carries a MEDIUM severity rating with a CVSS v3.1 score of 4.8, indicating it can be exploited remotely over the network with relatively low complexity though user interaction is required . The vulnerability impacts limited data confidentiality, limited integrity, for affected systems. Impacting 1 product from arubanetworks organizations running these solutions should prioritize assessment and patching.
Reported in 2024, this vulnerability emerged during an era marked by increased sophistication in supply chain attacks, cloud infrastructure vulnerabilities, and software-as-a-service (SaaS) security challenges. Security practices during this period emphasized zero-trust architectures, container security, and API protection.
