Technical ContextAI · show details
This vulnerability is classified as Command Injection (CWE-77), which allows attackers to inject arbitrary commands into system command execution. An authenticated command injection vulnerability exists in the AOS-CX command line interface. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability results in the ability to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system as a privileged user on the affected switch. This allows an attacker to fully compromise the underlying operating system on the device running AOS-CX. Affected products include: Hpe Arubaos-Cx.
