Authenticated command injection vulnerabilities exist in the command line interface of AOS-CX. Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities results in the ability to execute arbitrary commands as a privileged user on the underlying operating system.
AnalysisAI
Authenticated command injection in the HPE AOS-CX network operating system CLI allows a high-privileged attacker to execute arbitrary commands as a privileged user on the underlying host OS of affected Aruba CX switches. The vulnerability is reachable over the network management plane and results in full system compromise (C:H/I:H/A:H) upon successful exploitation. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires authentication with a high-privilege account (PR:H per CVSS) - specifically, an admin-level CLI user on the AOS-CX management interface. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS base score of 7.2 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) accurately reflects the dual nature of this vulnerability: severe impact upon success, but gated by the requirement for high-privilege authentication. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Consult HPE Security Bulletin HPESBNW05134en_US at https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=hpesbnw05134en_us&docLocale=en_US for specific patched AOS-CX firmware versions and upgrade instructions; exact fix versions are not independently confirmed from available data, so patch status should be verified directly with HPE. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all HPE/Aruba CX switches in your environment and audit administrative access privileges; identify and revoke any unused or suspicious administrative accounts. …
