Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: High: There is total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 10 Nov 2026
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponized: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 10 Nov 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponized: A Metasploit exploit module or Exploit-DB entry exists (Metasploit scanner modules do not count), or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

Until a fix is available, restrict network access to the affected systems and monitor for unusual activity related to service operation or access attempts to protected functions.

Description

CVE-2026-95781 is a high-severity vulnerability in AthonetOS used in Hewlett Packard Enterprise's Private 5G Core (P5G Core). It allows an unauthorized attacker to potentially affect service operation or gain access to protected system functions, compromising service integrity or unauthorized system access. The vulnerability affects versions from 0.0.0.0 up to and including 1.26.1.4. There is no indication of known exploits in the wild. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.5, reflecting a network attack vector with no required privileges or user interaction and high confidentiality impact.

Impact

Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to gain unauthorized access to protected system functions or disrupt the normal operation of the service, compromising service integrity. Confidentiality is rated high impact, while integrity and availability impacts are not indicated. This could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information or unauthorized control over system functions within the affected Private 5G Core environment.

Summary

This vulnerability in AthonetOS within HPE's Private 5G Core product enables unauthorized parties to impact service operation or access protected system functions. The flaw affects all versions up to 1.26.1.4. The CVSS 3.1 score of 7.5 indicates a high-severity issue exploitable remotely without privileges or user interaction, primarily impacting confidentiality. No public exploit code or known active exploitation has been reported. The vulnerability could lead to unauthorized system access or compromise of service integrity, but does not affect integrity or availability directly according to the CVSS vector.
