Hewlett Packard EnterpriseVulnerability100512/2025NA
Rankiteo Explanation :
Attack threatening the organization's existence

Description: Critical HPE OneView Vulnerability Exploited in Large-Scale Botnet Campaign A coordinated exploitation campaign by the Linux-based RondoDox botnet is actively targeting CVE-2025-37164, a critical remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in HPE OneView, a widely used IT infrastructure management platform. The flaw, disclosed on 16 December 2025 with a CVSS score of 10, allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary commands via the ExecuteCommand REST API endpoint due to missing authentication and authorization checks. Security firm Check Point Research detected the campaign, reporting a sharp escalation from early probing attempts to large-scale automated attacks in January 2026. Between 05:45 and 09:20 UTC on 7 January, over 40,000 exploitation attempts were recorded, with the activity attributed to the RondoDox botnet, which has previously targeted high-profile vulnerabilities like CVE-2025-55182 (React2Shell). The vulnerability affects HPE OneView’s id-pools functionality, enabling attackers to execute commands directly on the underlying OS without authentication. Check Point reported the campaign to CISA, leading to the flaw’s inclusion in the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog on the same day. Organizations using HPE OneView are at high risk, as the botnet’s focus on unpatched edge and perimeter infrastructure increases the potential for widespread compromise. The incident underscores the urgency of applying patches and implementing compensating controls to mitigate exposure.

Rankiteo Explanation :
Attack without any consequences: Attack in which data is not compromised

Description: A critical vulnerability in HPE Aruba Networking Instant On Access Points allows attackers to bypass device authentication mechanisms completely. The flaw, tracked as CVE-2025-37103, involves hardcoded login credentials embedded within the devices’ software. This presents a severe security risk with a maximum CVSS score of 9.8. The vulnerability affects firmware 3.2.0.1 and below, potentially exposing countless enterprise networks to unauthorized administrative access. The issue was discovered through HPE Aruba Networking’s Bug Bounty program and requires an immediate firmware update to mitigate the risk.

The incident highlights significant vulnerabilities within critical networking devices and represents a strategic threat to the defense, technology, and telecommunications sectors.

Hewlett Packard EnterpriseCyber Attack25112/2024NA
Rankiteo Explanation :
Attack without any consequences

Description: On December 11, 2024, Juniper Networks identified a security breach where multiple customers' Session Smart Router (SSR) products running default passwords were compromised. The attackers leveraged the devices to conduct Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks as part of the Mirai botnet's activity. This security event resulted in unusual network behavior, including port scanning, failed SSH logins, spikes in traffic, and connections from known malicious IP addresses. Juniper Networks has issued recommendations to customers for strengthening security practices and mitigating future risks. This incident underscores the importance of strong password policies and regular security monitoring to prevent exploitation of network devices. No data leaks or critical threats to personal, financial, or regional economic security were reported.

Hewlett Packard EnterpriseVulnerability1006/2024NA
Rankiteo Explanation :
Attack threatening the organization's existence

Description: In mid-2024, China-linked cyber espionage group UNC3886 targeted outdated Juniper Networks Junos OS MX routers with custom backdoors. The deployment of TINYSHELL-based backdoors, which allowed for stealthy, persistent access, showed a sophisticated understanding of system internals and posed a significant threat. This attack rendered the organization vulnerable to long-term espionage activities, primarily affecting the defense, technology, and telecommunications sectors in the US and Asia. The security incident not only undermined the integrity of Juniper Networks' devices but also put sensitive customer and employee data at risk.

Hewlett Packard EnterpriseVulnerability10036/2024NA
Rankiteo Explanation :
Attack with significant impact with internal employee data leaks

Description: HPE's Insight Remote Support tool has a critical vulnerability tracked as CVE-2024-53676, potentially allowing unauthenticated attackers to execute code on affected systems. The flaw allows for directory traversal attacks to overwrite system files, leading to SYSTEM-level privileges being compromised. There are currently no patches available. This vulnerability exposes organizations to significant risks, as attackers can deploy malicious payloads without authentication. The current suggested mitigations include isolating management interfaces, monitoring file operations, and analyzing SOAP traffic for suspicious activities. As exploit techniques are being refined, timely and stringent defensive measures are essential to prevent possible active exploitations that could severely impact operations and sensitive data.

Hewlett Packard EnterpriseBreach10055/2023NA
Rankiteo Explanation :
Attack threatening the organization's existence

Description: In 2024, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) disclosed a significant data breach orchestrated by the state-linked hacking group Midnight Blizzard (APT29). The attackers compromised a Microsoft 365 email account as early as May 2023, remaining undetected for seven months until December 2023. While only a small percentage of mailboxes primarily in cybersecurity and business operations were accessed, the exposed emails contained highly sensitive personal identifiers, including Social Security numbers, driver’s licenses, and payment card details.The breach underscored the vulnerabilities of unencrypted email systems, as the attackers exfiltrated months of communications containing financial reports, identity documents, and internal strategies. Had end-to-end encryption been in place, the stolen data would have been rendered unusable (ciphertext) without the account owners’ private keys. The incident highlighted how dwell time in email breaches can lead to massive data exposure, as archives often span years of historical communications. HPE’s case serves as a warning that even global enterprises with robust security measures are not immune to sophisticated, prolonged cyber intrusions targeting email environments.

Hewlett Packard EnterpriseBreach100511/2021NA
Rankiteo Explanation :
Attack threatening the organization's existence

Description: Aruba Central network monitoring platforms suffered from a data breach incident that allowed a threat actor to access collected data about monitored devices and their locations. The exposed information contained two datasets, one for network analytics and the other for Aruba Central's 'Contract Tracing' feature. "One dataset ("network analytics") includes network telemetry information about Wi-Fi client devices connected to customer Wi-Fi networks for the majority of Aruba Central customers. Another dataset called "contact tracing" comprised location-specific information on Wi-Fi client devices, such as which devices were close to other Wi-Fi client devices. The compromised information includes MAC addresses, IP addresses, device operating system type and hostname, and some usernames. The contact tracing data also included users’ Access Point (AP) name, proximity, and duration of time connected to that AP. They said it's not necessary to change passwords, change encryption keys, or modify your network setup because security-sensitive data was not compromised. In order to stop reoccurring problems, HPE said they are modifying how they safeguard and keep access keys.

Hewlett Packard EnterpriseBreach100510/2016NA
Rankiteo Explanation :
Attack threatening the organization’s existence

Description: In October 2016, Hewlett-Packard Enterprise (HPE) experienced a significant data breach involving a compromised laptop belonging to an employee working on a U.S. Navy contract. The breach exposed sensitive information from the Career Waypoints (C-WAY) database, a system used by sailors to manage reenlistment requests and Navy Occupational Specialty details. The leaked data included personal information of 134,386 current and former U.S. Navy sailors, such as names and Social Security numbers (SSNs). The incident stemmed from unauthorized access to the employee’s laptop, which contained unencrypted C-WAY records. While the exact method of compromise was not disclosed, the exposure of such highly sensitive military personnel data posed severe risks, including identity theft, targeted phishing, and potential national security concerns. The U.S. Navy, alongside HPE, launched an investigation, but the breach underscored critical vulnerabilities in third-party contractor security protocols and the handling of classified or personally identifiable information (PII). The fallout included reputational damage to HPE, heightened scrutiny over defense contractor cybersecurity practices, and mandatory credit monitoring for affected sailors. The breach also prompted reviews of data encryption standards and access controls for systems managing military personnel records.

Latest Global CVEs (Not Company-Specific)

Description

SummaryA command injection vulnerability (CWE-78) has been found to exist in the `wrangler pages deploy` command. The issue occurs because the `--commit-hash` parameter is passed directly to a shell command without proper validation or sanitization, allowing an attacker with control of `--commit-hash` to execute arbitrary commands on the system running Wrangler. Root causeThe commitHash variable, derived from user input via the --commit-hash CLI argument, is interpolated directly into a shell command using template literals (e.g.,  execSync(`git show -s --format=%B ${commitHash}`)). Shell metacharacters are interpreted by the shell, enabling command execution. ImpactThis vulnerability is generally hard to exploit, as it requires --commit-hash to be attacker controlled. The vulnerability primarily affects CI/CD environments where `wrangler pages deploy` is used in automated pipelines and the --commit-hash parameter is populated from external, potentially untrusted sources. An attacker could exploit this to: * Run any shell command. * Exfiltrate environment variables. * Compromise the CI runner to install backdoors or modify build artifacts. Credits Disclosed responsibly by kny4hacker. Mitigation * Wrangler v4 users are requested to upgrade to Wrangler v4.59.1 or higher. * Wrangler v3 users are requested to upgrade to Wrangler v3.114.17 or higher. * Users on Wrangler v2 (EOL) should upgrade to a supported major version.
