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 in Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager version(s): 6.10.x: 6.10.6 and below; 6.9.x: 6.9.11 and below. Aruba has released upgrades for Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager that address these security vulnerabilities.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

CVE-2022-23692 is a high-severity SQL injection issue in Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager's web management interface. An authenticated remote attacker could access or change sensitive database information. Aruba says successful exploitation could potentially compromise the entire ClearPass cluster.

Executive priority

Treat this as a high-priority infrastructure management-plane issue. ClearPass often supports network access control decisions, and the vendor describes possible complete cluster compromise if exploited.

Technical view

The flaw is CWE-89 SQL injection in the ClearPass Policy Manager web-based management interface. It affects 6.10.x through 6.10.6 and 6.9.x through 6.9.11. CVSS 3.1 is 8.8, with network access, low complexity, low privileges, no user interaction, and high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact.

Likely exposure

Exposure is most likely where vulnerable ClearPass versions are deployed and authenticated users can reach the web management interface. The source bundle does not identify unauthenticated exposure or specific vulnerable endpoints.

Exploitation context

The provided sources do not show CISA KEV listing or active exploitation. The risk remains serious because exploitation requires only authenticated remote access and could affect sensitive data and cluster integrity.

Researcher notes

Evidence is limited to the CVE record and Aruba advisory reference. Do not assume unauthenticated exploitation, public exploit availability, or fixed version numbers beyond Aruba's statement that upgrades were released.

Mitigation direction

  • Upgrade affected ClearPass Policy Manager instances using Aruba advisory guidance.
  • Prioritize 6.10.x versions 6.10.6 and below.
  • Prioritize 6.9.x versions 6.9.11 and below.
  • Check Aruba's advisory for any temporary guidance if immediate upgrade is not possible.

Validation and detection

  • Inventory all Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager versions.
  • Flag 6.10.x through 6.10.6 and 6.9.x through 6.9.11 as affected.
  • Confirm whether the web management interface is reachable by authenticated remote users.
  • After upgrade, verify the installed version is outside the affected ranges.
