CVE-2025-37160
📋 TL;DR
This broken access control vulnerability allows authenticated low-privilege users to access sensitive information through the web management interface. Organizations using affected HPE products with web-based management interfaces are at risk. Attackers could exploit this to view confidential data they shouldn't have access to.
💻 Affected Systems
- HPE products with web-based management interfaces (specific products not detailed in provided reference)
📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete disclosure of all sensitive information accessible through the management interface, potentially including credentials, configuration data, and system information.
Likely Case
Partial information disclosure where attackers access some sensitive data based on what's available through the interface and their exploration.
If Mitigated
No data disclosure if proper access controls and network segmentation are implemented.
🎯 Exploit Status
Requires authenticated access but low privileges. Exploitation likely involves navigating to restricted interface areas or using specific URLs.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Restrict Management Interface Access
allLimit access to web management interface to only trusted networks and users
Configure firewall rules to restrict access to management interface IP/port
Implement Network Segmentation
allIsolate management interfaces from general user networks
Segment management network using VLANs or separate physical networks
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement strict access controls and review user permissions regularly
- Monitor management interface access logs for suspicious activity
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check if low-privilege users can access sensitive information pages in web management interfaceCheck Version:
Check product documentation for version verification command specific to affected HPE productVerify Fix Applied:
Verify patch version matches vendor recommendations and test that low-privilege users cannot access sensitive information📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unauthorized access attempts to sensitive management pages
- Low-privilege user accessing restricted interface areas
Network Indicators:
- Unusual patterns of requests to management interface from low-privilege accounts
SIEM Query:
