AI-suggested

To mitigate this vulnerability, European organizations should prioritize the following actions: 1) Immediately identify and inventory all Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager instances, noting versions to determine exposure. 2) Apply the official Aruba patches or upgrade to fixed versions above 6.10.6 or 6.9.11 as soon as possible to eliminate the vulnerability. 3) Restrict administrative access to the ClearPass management interface to trusted networks and users, employing network segmentation and strong access controls. 4) Enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all ClearPass administrators to reduce the risk of credential compromise. 5) Monitor ClearPass logs and network traffic for unusual activities that may indicate attempted exploitation or unauthorized access. 6) Conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on ClearPass deployments to identify any residual risks. 7) Ensure backups of ClearPass configurations and databases are maintained securely to enable recovery in case of compromise. These steps go beyond generic advice by focusing on specific controls tailored to the ClearPass environment and the nature of the vulnerability.

Description

Vulnerabilities in the web-based management interface of ClearPass Policy Manager could allow an authenticated remote attacker to conduct SQL injection attacks against the ClearPass Policy Manager instance. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to obtain and modify sensitive information in the underlying database potentially leading to complete compromise of the ClearPass Policy Manager cluster in Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager version(s): 6.10.x: 6.10.6 and below; 6.9.x: 6.9.11 and below. Aruba has released upgrades for Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager that address these security vulnerabilities.
