CVE-2022-28616
📋 TL;DR
This SSRF vulnerability in HPE OneView allows attackers to make unauthorized requests from the vulnerable server to internal systems. Attackers could potentially access sensitive internal services, exfiltrate data, or pivot to other network resources. Organizations running HPE OneView versions prior to 7.0 are affected.
💻 Affected Systems
- HPE OneView
📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete compromise of internal infrastructure through server-side request forgery leading to data exfiltration, lateral movement, and potential full network takeover.
Likely Case
Unauthorized access to internal services, sensitive data exposure, and potential privilege escalation within the affected environment.
If Mitigated
Limited impact with proper network segmentation, but still potential for information disclosure about internal network structure.
🎯 Exploit Status
SSRF vulnerabilities typically have low exploitation complexity, especially when unauthenticated.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: HPE OneView 7.0 or later
Vendor Advisory: https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docLocale=en_US&docId=emr_na-hpesbgn04278en_us
Restart Required: Yes
Instructions:
1. Download HPE OneView version 7.0 or later from HPE support portal. 2. Backup current configuration. 3. Apply the update following HPE's upgrade documentation. 4. Restart the OneView services. 5. Verify the update was successful.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Network Segmentation
allRestrict outbound network access from HPE OneView servers to only necessary internal services
Firewall Rules
allImplement strict egress filtering to prevent SSRF exploitation to internal networks
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement strict network segmentation to isolate HPE OneView from sensitive internal systems
- Deploy web application firewall with SSRF protection rules
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check HPE OneView version via web interface or CLI. If version is below 7.0, system is vulnerable.Check Version:
Check via HPE OneView web interface or consult HPE documentation for version checking commandsVerify Fix Applied:
Verify version is 7.0 or higher and test SSRF functionality is no longer exploitable.📡 Detection & Monitoring
