Description
SQL injection vulnerabilities exist in several underlying service components accessible through the AOS-8 and AOS-10 command-line interface and management protocol. An authenticated attacker with administrative privileges could exploit these vulnerabilities by injecting crafted input into parameters that are passed unsanitized to backend database queries. Successful exploitation could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system.

Impact

SQL injection vulnerabilities in the command‑line interface and management protocol of Hewlett Packard Enterprise Aruba Networking Wireless Operating System (AOS) allow an authenticated administrator to inject unsanitized input into database queries, enabling execution of arbitrary operating‑system commands. The flaw is a classic input‑validation weakness that can be leveraged to compromise system confidentiality, integrity, and availability by running malicious code with elevated privileges.

Affected Systems

The affected products are Hewlett Packard Enterprise Aruba Networking Wireless Operating System, specifically versions AOS‑8 and AOS‑10. No additional patch‑level or build information is provided in the advisory.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.2 classifies the vulnerability as high severity. Because the attack requires authenticated access, the attack vector is local or restricted to users who have been granted administrative credentials. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, but the high CVSS rating indicates a serious risk if the attacker gains the necessary privileges. Exploitation would involve sending crafted parameters through the command‑line interface or management protocol, with the potential to elevate an attacker’s control over the device. The lack of publicly disclosed exploit code suggests that attacks may be opportunistic but remain credible if credentials are compromised or the device is exposed to a trusted network area.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest HPE Aruba AOS security patch for versions 8 and 10.
  • Restrict access to the AOS command‑line interface and management protocol via network segmentation and firewall rules.
  • Enforce least‑privilege authentication, ensuring only required administrative accounts have access.
