HPE Private 5G Core: Unauthorized modification of system-managed content
Summary
A vulnerability in a system component of HPE Private 5G Core may allow an authorized user with high privileges to make unauthorized changes to system-managed content under certain conditions. Successful exploitation could affect confidentiality, integrity and availability and may disrupt trusted interactions between system functions. The attack is network-reachable with low complexity but requires high privileges and no user interaction.
Affected
- HPE Private 5G Core (P5G Core), versions 0.0.0.0 to 1.26.1.4 according to the CVE record
- Whether version 1.26.1.4 itself is affected must be confirmed in the HPE bulletin
Fixed in
Unknown. No fixed version confirmed in the sources reviewed; check HPE bulletin HPESBNW05179.
Workaround
Unknown. No vendor workaround confirmed in the sources reviewed.
Exploitation
- Not known to be exploited at the time of writing
- Not listed in the CISA KEV catalog
- No public proof-of-concept found
- NVD analysis is still pending
Our recommendation
- Check whether the organisation operates HPE Private 5G Core or an Athonet deployment
- If so, identify the installed version and compare it with the affected range
- Obtain the fixed release from HPE bulletin HPESBNW05179 and apply it
- Restrict management interface access to a dedicated segment or VLAN and control it with firewall policies until patched
- Monitor administrative access and review accounts with high privileges
- Note that the CVE is recent and the status may change once NVD and HPE publish further details
