CVE-2026-76690 is a high-severity vulnerability in Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) EdgeConnect SD-WAN Gateways that allows an authenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands as root by providing specially crafted input. The affected versions include multiple 9.x releases. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 score of 7.2, indicating high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No known exploits in the wild or patch information are provided.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability affects HPE EdgeConnect SD-WAN Gateways in versions 9.4.0.0 through 9.4.8.2, 9.5.0.0 through 9.5.8.1, 9.6.0.0 through 9.6.3.1, and exactly 9.7.0.0. An authenticated remote attacker can exploit a flaw in a component by sending specially crafted input, resulting in arbitrary command execution with root privileges. The CVSS 3.1 vector indicates network attack vector, low attack complexity, high privileges required, no user interaction, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands as root on the affected device, potentially compromising the entire system and impacting confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the device and network traffic it manages.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since no patch or workaround information is provided, users should monitor HPE advisories for updates and consider restricting authenticated access to the affected devices until a fix is available.
