West Houston, TX — Impress IT Solutions, a trusted managed IT services provider for construction and manufacturing companies in West Houston, is sounding the alarm on a newly discovered critical vulnerability affecting HPE Instant On Access Points. This flaw, if left unpatched, could grant attackers full administrative access to company networks—posing a serious risk for businesses relying on cloud-connected infrastructure.

The vulnerability, officially tracked as CVE-2025-37103, carries a CVSS severity score of 9.8/10, indicating a critical threat. The flaw involves hard-coded login credentials embedded within the HPE Networking Instant On Access Points, effectively allowing anyone who knows the credentials to bypass authentication protocols and seize admin-level control.

“This kind of vulnerability can wreak havoc on a construction company’s operations,” says the cybersecurity team at Impress IT Solutions. “Unauthorized access to network devices opens the door to data breaches, project disruptions, and even ransomware attacks.”

Adding to the urgency, a secondary flaw, CVE-2025-37102, rated 7.2 in severity, was also uncovered. This vulnerability could let attackers with elevated permissions inject malicious commands directly into the system’s command-line interface. When chained with CVE-2025-37103, the risk multiplies—giving cybercriminals a dangerous foothold within the network.

Impress IT Solutions is already working with its clients to deploy the latest security patches released by HPE in software version 3.2.1.0 and above, which address both vulnerabilities. Impress’s proactive patch management and vulnerability scanning services ensure that clients are always protected—even from zero-day threats like this.

They also emphasize that HPE Networking Instant On Switches are not affected, helping clients identify which hardware in their environment is at risk and taking immediate action to isolate or upgrade those systems.

Although there’s currently no evidence that the vulnerabilities have been exploited in the wild, the team at Impress warns that it’s only a matter of time. “Cybercriminals move fast,” they said. “As soon as news of a flaw drops, automated scanners start probing the internet for unpatched systems.”

Impress IT Solutions recommends that any business using HPE Instant On Access Points—not just in construction but across all sectors—contact their IT team or managed services provider immediately to verify their system’s security.
