A vulnerability exists in a management component that could allow an unauthenticated adjacent attacker to execute arbitrary commands. Successful exploitation could result in remote execution of arbitrary commands in the context of the affected utility.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated command injection (CWE-77) in an HPE AOS-CX management component allows an adjacent-network attacker to execute arbitrary OS commands on affected switches without any credentials or user interaction. Multiple AOS-CX release trains are affected, spanning versions 10.10 through 10.18, per the EUVD affected-version data. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Adjacent network access to the AOS-CX management interface is the sole prerequisite; no authentication is required (PR:N per CVSS). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | CVSS 8.8 (AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) accurately reflects the severity: no authentication, no user interaction, and full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact on the device. … 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 | Apply the fixed AOS-CX software version for the relevant release train as documented in HPE Security Bulletin hpesbnw05134 (https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=hpesbnw05134en_us&docLocale=en_US); exact patched version numbers per branch are not independently confirmed from available input data and must be verified against the advisory before deployment. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, conduct an urgent inventory of all HPE AOS-CX switches running versions 10.10-10.18 in production and identify their network position relative to untrusted adjacent segments. …
