CVE-2025-37182 identifies a SQL injection vulnerability in Hewlett Packard Enterprise's EdgeConnect SD-WAN Orchestrator, specifically affecting versions 9.4.0 and 9.5.0. This vulnerability resides in the web-based management interface, which is used to configure and monitor SD-WAN deployments. An authenticated remote attacker with valid credentials can exploit this flaw by injecting malicious SQL commands into the backend database queries. The injection flaw allows arbitrary SQL execution, which can lead to unauthorized data disclosure, modification, or deletion within the orchestrator's database. Since the orchestrator manages critical network configurations and policies, compromise could disrupt network operations or expose sensitive configuration data. The vulnerability requires authentication but no additional user interaction, and the attack can be launched remotely over the network. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.2, indicating a high-severity issue with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No public exploits have been reported yet, but the presence of this vulnerability in widely deployed SD-WAN management software poses a significant risk if left unpatched.

For European organizations, exploitation of CVE-2025-37182 could lead to severe consequences. Unauthorized access to the orchestrator's database may expose sensitive network configuration data, including routing policies, VPN credentials, and device configurations, undermining confidentiality. Data manipulation could disrupt SD-WAN operations, causing network outages or degraded performance, impacting availability and integrity. Given the critical role of SD-WAN in enterprise and service provider networks, such disruptions could affect business continuity and critical services. Organizations in sectors like finance, healthcare, telecommunications, and government, which rely heavily on secure and resilient network infrastructure, are particularly vulnerable. The requirement for authentication limits exposure to insiders or attackers who have compromised credentials, but the low complexity of exploitation means that once credentials are obtained, the risk is significant. The absence of known exploits currently provides a window for mitigation before active attacks emerge.

Organizations should immediately verify if they are running affected versions (9.4.0 or 9.5.0) of HPE EdgeConnect SD-WAN Orchestrator and prioritize upgrading to patched versions once available from HPE. Until patches are applied, restrict access to the management interface using network segmentation and firewall rules to limit exposure to trusted administrators only. Implement strong multi-factor authentication (MFA) to reduce the risk of credential compromise. Regularly audit and monitor access logs for unusual activity indicative of attempted SQL injection or unauthorized access. Employ web application firewalls (WAF) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting the orchestrator interface. Conduct internal penetration testing focused on the management interface to identify potential exploitation paths. Additionally, enforce the principle of least privilege for user accounts to minimize the impact of compromised credentials. Maintain up-to-date backups of configuration data to enable rapid recovery in case of data manipulation or deletion.
