Description
A vulnerability in the command line interface of Access Points running AOS-10 could allow an authenticated remote attacker to perform command injection. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system.

NOTE: This vulnerability only impacts Access Points running AOS-10.7.x.x and above. AOS-10.4 AP and AOS-8 Instant software branches are not affected by this vulnerability.

AI Analysis

Impact

An authenticated remote attacker can inject arbitrary shell commands through the CLI of Aruba Access Points running AOS‑10. This injection vulnerability allows the attacker to execute commands on the underlying operating system, effectively achieving remote code execution. The weakness is an OS Command Injection flaw (CWE‑77).

Affected Systems

Affected devices are Aruba Access Points that run AOS‑10.7.x.x and later. Earlier branches (AOS‑10.4 and AOS‑8 Instant) are not impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.2 indicates high severity, while the EPSS score is unavailable and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires valid credentials to the CLI, so the attack is limited to authenticated users in the network. Without such credentials the vulnerability cannot be leveraged. As a result, the risk is significant for organizations that expose CLI access to untrusted hosts or lack strong authentication controls.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest ArubaOS firmware update released by HPE that addresses the CLI command injection.
  • If an update is not yet available, restrict or disable CLI access for non‑trusted devices and users, and enforce strong authentication for privileged roles.
  • Implement network segmentation and firewall rules to limit the reach of exposed devices, preventing the attacker from gaining access to the command line interface.
  • Enable logging and monitoring of CLI activity to detect potential injection attempts.
