CVE-2026-76696: Vulnerability in Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) EdgeConnect SD-WAN Gateways
A vulnerability in HPE Networking EdgeConnect SD-WAN Gateways could allow an unauthenticated adjacent attacker to conduct a denial of service attack. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to crash the system, preventing it from rebooting without manual intervention and disrupting network operations.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability affects HPE EdgeConnect SD-WAN Gateways 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 9.7.0.0. It allows an unauthenticated attacker with adjacent network access to trigger a denial of service condition that crashes the device. The device does not automatically recover, requiring manual intervention to reboot, which can disrupt network availability. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 6.5, reflecting low attack complexity and no required privileges or user interaction, but with high impact on availability. No known exploits are reported in the wild. No patch or remediation details are provided in the source data.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation results in a denial of service by crashing the SD-WAN Gateway device, causing network disruption. The device requires manual reboot to recover, which can lead to prolonged downtime and impact on network operations. There is no confidentiality or integrity impact reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict adjacent network access to trusted entities to reduce exposure. Monitor for unusual device crashes and be prepared for manual recovery procedures.
