EdgeConnect SD-WAN Gateways: Integer Overflow or Wraparound
CVE-2026-76685 is a high-severity integer overflow or wraparound vulnerability in EdgeConnect SD-WAN Gateways from Hewlett Packard Enterprise, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.1 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. Affected EdgeConnect SD-WAN Gateways versions: 9.7.0.0 and earlier; 9.6.0.0 through 9.6.3.1; 9.5.0.0 through 9.5.8.1, and others listed below. The record does not name a fixed version, so check the vendor advisory. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.67% chance of exploitation within 30 days, higher than 53% of scored CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.
What to do
- Update Edgeconnect Sd-wan Orchestrator to 9.4.11 or 9.5.9 or 9.6.4, whichever matches your release line, or a later version.
- Update Edgeconnect Operating System to 9.4.9.0 or 9.5.9.0 or 9.6.4.0, whichever matches your release line, or a later version.
- Read the advisory on support.hpe.com for workarounds and exact fixed builds.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.

Official 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.

The underlying weakness: Integer Overflow or Wraparound
The product performs a calculation that can produce an integer overflow or wraparound when the logic assumes that the resulting value will always be larger than the original value. This occurs when an integer value is incremented to a value that is too large to store in the associated representation. When this occurs, the value may become a very small or negative number.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Ensure that all protocols are strictly defined, such that all out-of-bounds behavior can be identified simply, and require strict conformance to the protocol.
- Use a language that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid. If possible, choose a language or compiler that performs automatic bounds checking.
- Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid. Use libraries or frameworks that make it easier to handle numbers without unexpected consequences. Examples include safe integer handling packages such as SafeInt (C++) or IntegerLib (C or C++).
