Title
Security Advisory 0182
Summary
The VeloCloud Edge software update workflow may accept update bundles without properly validating their signatures because the workflow does not restrict the digest algorithm used for artifact verification. An attacker with either sufficient privileges to upload packages to VeloCloud Orchestrator or credentials permitting direct access to an Edge may be able to install unauthorized software.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
