Remote code execution in HPE Aruba Networking Wireless Operating System (AOS-8 and AOS-10) allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to overflow a heap buffer in a network management service and run arbitrary code as a privileged OS user, or trigger a denial-of-service crash of the affected process. It affects Aruba mobility controllers and gateways across multiple 8.x and 10.x branches. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not in CISA KEV; EPSS is low (0.12%, 30th percentile), and notably the vendor CVSS vector scores only availability impact despite the RCE claim.

DescriptionCVE.org
A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in a Network management service of AOS-8 and AOS-10 that could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to achieve remote code execution. Successful exploitation could allow an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code as a privileged user on the underlying operating system, potentially leading to a system compromise. Exploitation may also result in a denial-of-service (DoS) condition affecting the impacted system process.
Executive ViewAI
HPE Aruba Networking wireless controllers and gateways (AOS-8 and AOS-10) contain an unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability allowing attackers to execute commands as privileged system users or crash wireless management infrastructure. This directly threatens enterprises relying on Aruba for enterprise wireless connectivity, with no patch currently available from the vendor. Leadership should prioritize immediate containment given the critical nature of network infrastructure at risk.
Within 24 hours, conduct a complete inventory of HPE Aruba Networking controllers and gateways deployed across your organization and identify all systems running AOS-8.x or AOS-10.x branches. Within 7 days, restrict network access to management interfaces through segmentation and firewall rules, disable remote management protocols (SSH, HTTPS) if operationally feasible, and enable comprehensive audit logging on affected systems. Within 30 days, contact HPE for patch timeline and workaround documentation, evaluate migration paths to unaffected AOS branches, and implement formal change control for any firmware updates once patches become available.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations include: (1) network segmentation restricting access to administrative interfaces to trusted internal subnets only; (2) disabling unnecessary remote management services where operationally feasible; (3) implementing real-time alerting and detailed audit logging for authentication attempts and privileged process execution on affected systems; (4) developing an accelerated upgrade plan to non-vulnerable AOS branches; (5) increasing monitoring frequency for anomalous controller behavior and availability. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Threat Intelligence Overview
How this decision was reached
The engine reads each signal below and applies a fixed list of rules from top to bottom. The first rule that matches sets the recommended action – like a statement, every line is shown.
What every action level means
SSVC AssessmentENISA
Priority Score
Attack Technique
A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.
A heap overflow occurs when a program writes data beyond the bounds of a buffer allocated in the heap memory region.
Remote Code Execution represents the critical moment when an attacker successfully runs arbitrary code on a target system without physical access.
