How the Exploit Works
The vulnerability lies within the APIs of HPE Aruba Networking Private 5G Core. An attacker could exploit this weakness by sending specifically crafted requests to these APIs. This would allow the attacker to iteratively navigate through the filesystem, gaining unauthorized access to protected system files that contain sensitive information. The attacker could then download these files, leading to a potential data leakage situation.
Conceptual Example Code
Below is a conceptual example of how this vulnerability might be exploited. This example uses a HTTP request targeting the vulnerable endpoint of the system.
GET /api/filesystem/navigate?path=/sensitive/data HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Mitigation and Patching
The vendor has released a patch to address this vulnerability. It is strongly recommended that all users update their systems to the patched version as soon as possible. As a temporary measure, a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) could be utilized to monitor and block potentially malicious requests targeting the vulnerable API endpoints.
