Affected Products These vulnerabilities affect ClearPass Policy Manager running the following patch versions unless specifically noted otherwise in the details section: ClearPass Policy Manager 6.10.x: 6.10.6 and below ClearPass Policy Manager 6.9.x: 6.9.11 and below Updating ClearPass Policy Manager to a patch version listed in the Resolution section at the end of this advisory will resolve all issues in the details section. Versions of ClearPass Policy Manager that are end of life are affected by these vulnerabilities unless otherwise indicated. Impacted customers should plan to migrate to a supported version. Supported versions as of the release of this advisory are: ClearPass Policy Manager 6.10.x ClearPass Policy Manager 6.9.x Details Authenticated SQL Injection Vulnerabilities in ClearPass Policy Manager Web-based Management Interface (CVE-2022-23692, CVE-2022-23693, CVE-2022-23694, CVE-2022-23695, CVE-2022-23696) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Vulnerabilities in the web-based management interface of ClearPass Policy Manager could allow an authenticated remote attacker to conduct SQL injection attacks against the ClearPass Policy Manager instance. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to obtain and modify sensitive information in the underlying database potentially leading to complete compromise of the ClearPass Policy Manager cluster. Internal references: ATLCP-177, ATLCP-178, ATLCP-180, ATLCP-201, ATLCP-202 Severity: High CVSSv3 Overall Score: 8.8 CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H Discovery: These vulnerabilities were discovered and reported by Luke Young (bugcrowd.com/bored-engineer) and Daniel Jensen (@dozernz) via Aruba's Bug Bounty Program Lack of Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) Protections for some Endpoints in ClearPass Policy Manager (CVE-2022-23685) --------------------------------------------------------------------- A vulnerability in the ClearPass Policy Manager web-based management interface exists which exposes some endpoints to a lack of Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) protection. This could allow a remote unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary input against these endpoints if the attacker can convince an authenticated user of the interface to interact with a specially crafted URL. Internal References: ATLCP-219 Severity: High CVSSv3.x Overall Score: 8.1 CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N Discovery: This vulnerability was discovered and reported by the Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager Engineering Team. Local Privilege Escalation in ClearPass OnGuard macOS Agent (CVE-2022-37877) --------------------------------------------------------------------- A vulnerability in the ClearPass OnGuard macOS agent could allow malicious users on a macOS instance to elevate their user privileges. A successful exploit could allow these users to execute arbitrary code with root level privileges on the macOS instance. Internal references: ATLCP-205 Severity: High CVSSv3 Overall Score: 8.0 CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:L Discovery: This vulnerability was discovered and reported by Luke Young (bugcrowd.com/bored_engineer) via Aruba's Bug Bounty Program. Authenticated Remote Command Injection in ClearPass Policy Manager Web-Based Management Interface (CVE-2022-37878, CVE-2022-37879, CVE-2022-37880, CVE-2022-37881, CVE-2022-37882, CVE-2022-37883) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Vulnerabilities in the ClearPass Policy Manager web-based management interface allow remote authenticated users to run arbitrary commands on the underlying host. A successful exploit could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary commands as root on the underlying operating system leading to complete system compromise. Internal References: ATLCP-166, ATLCP-179, ATLCP-183, ATLCP-189, ATLCP-193, ATLCP-197 Severity: High CVSSv3.x Overall Score: 7.2 CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H Discovery: These vulnerabilities were discovered and reported by Daniel Jensen (@dozernz) via Aruba's Bug Bounty Program. Unauthenticated Denial-of-Service Condition in ClearPass Policy Manager Guest User Interface (CVE-2022-37884) -------------------------------------------------------------------- A vulnerability exists in the ClearPass Policy Manager Guest User Interface that can allow an unauthenticated attacker to send specific operations which result in a Denial-of-Service condition. A successful exploitation of this vulnerability results in the unavailability of the guest interface. Internal Reference: ATLCP-167 Severity: Medium CVSSv3.x Overall Score: 5.3 CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L Discovery: This vulnerability was discovered and reported by Daniel Jensen (@dozernz) via Aruba's Bug Bounty Program.
