# CVE-2026-76685: Unauthenticated Buffer Overflow Vulnerability leads to Remote Code Execution or Denial-of-Service in HPE Networking EdgeConnect SD-WAN Gateways

- Severity: CVSS 8.1 (High), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=no, technicalImpact=total
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Published: 2026-09-15 · Updated: 2026-09-22

## Affected

- Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) EdgeConnect SD-WAN Gateways: 9.7.0.0 only; from 9.6.0.0, through 9.6.3.1; from 9.5.0.0, through 9.5.8.1; from 9.4.0.0, through 9.4.8.2

## Description

A vulnerability exists in the proxy packet processing logic of the affected component where it improperly processes malformed or truncated input. An unauthenticated remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by providing specially crafted input that triggers an integer overflow. Successful exploitation could result in a buffer overflow, potentially leading to remote code execution or denial-of-service.
