Command injection vulnerabilities exist in the command line interface service accessed by the PAPI protocol of Hewlett Packard Enterprise Aruba Networking Wireless Operating System (AOS) 8 and 10. An attacker who authenticates to the system can inject arbitrary OS commands through the CLI, which can be executed with the privileges of the authenticated user. The flaw is consistent with OS command injection and can lead to a full compromise of the underlying host if sufficient privileges are granted.

Products affected are HPE Aruba Networking Wireless Operating System (AOS) 8 and 10. Version details are not specified in the available data, so all builds of these operating systems should be considered potentially vulnerable until a vendor patch is applied.

The CVSS score of 7.2 indicates high severity. The EPSS score is reported as less than 1%, implying a very low probability of exploitation in the wild, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, indicating no publicly known exploits at this time. The likely attack vector is remote and requires authentication via the PAPI protocol; once authenticated, an attacker can execute arbitrary commands on the host operating system. The risk is elevated if the authenticated user has high privileges and if the PAPI interface is exposed to untrusted networks.
