Description
A memory corruption vulnerability in the affected interface of AOS-10 could allow an unauthenticated adjacent attacker to achieve remote code execution. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code as a privileged user on the underlying operating system.

KEV: No
Impact: Remote Code Execution

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability involves a memory corruption flaw in a specific interface of AOS‑10 that lets an unauthenticated attacker perform adjacent memory corruption to gain remote code execution. If successfully exploited, the attacker can run arbitrary code with privileges of the underlying operating system. This gives full control over the host and threatens confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Affected Systems

The issue affects Hewlett Packard Enterprise AOS‑10. No specific product name or version range is provided, and the known CNA product list indicates an unspecified HPE product. The absence of precise version information means all installations of AOS‑10 should be considered potentially vulnerable until a patch or advisory confirms a fix.

Risk and Exploitability

With a CVSS score of 9.6 the vulnerability is considered critical. The EPSS score is < 1% indicating a very low but non-zero probability of exploitation, yet the lack of inclusion in the CISA KEV catalog does not diminish its severity. Attackers do not require authentication, implying that remote exploitation is feasible over network interfaces exposed by AOS‑10. The combination of a high base score, the ability to execute code, and the lack of requirement for privileged access creates a high likelihood of real-world exploitation if left unmitigated.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Obtain and apply the latest HPE AOS‑10 security update that addresses the memory corruption issue.
  • If a patch has not yet been released, restrict network access to the affected management interfaces, using firewall rules or VLAN segmentation, to prevent unauthenticated remote connections.
  • Enable detailed audit logging on AOS‑10 and monitor for anomalous memory access or authentication attempts, and keep the system under observation until the patch is applied.
