Stack overflow vulnerabilities in an HPE AOS-CX API endpoint allow an authenticated, high-privileged attacker to crash the affected system via a crafted request, resulting in a denial-of-service condition. The vulnerability is network-exploitable but requires prior administrative authentication, substantially limiting the attacker pool. This CVE is part of the same HPE advisory (hpesbnw05134) covering multiple AOS-CX weaknesses, including higher-severity unauthenticated and adjacent-network issues; no public exploit or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis.
Format string exploitation in the HPE AOS-CX command line interface enables unauthenticated, adjacent-network attackers to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges on the underlying operating system. All AOS-CX versions are affected per the wildcard CPE, and the vulnerability is disclosed alongside three other critical AOS-CX flaws in the same HPE bulletin (HPESBNW05134), suggesting coordinated security research. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and CISA KEV listing has not been confirmed.
Stored cross-site scripting in the HPE AOS-CX web-based management interface allows an authenticated attacker with high privileges to inject persistent malicious script that executes in the browser of any administrator who subsequently views the affected page. Because the scope changes to the victim's browser context, a successful exploit enables session hijacking, credential theft, or execution of privileged management actions against AOS-CX network infrastructure. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and this CVE is one of several addressed in HPE security bulletin hpesbnw05134en_us alongside CVE-2026-73749, CVE-2026-73766, and CVE-2026-73778.
Cross-site request forgery exposure in HPE AOS-CX switch web management interface enables remote unauthenticated attackers to force arbitrary administrative actions against the switch by tricking an authenticated administrator into visiting a specially crafted URL. The vulnerability is partial - only "some sessions" within the management interface lack CSRF token enforcement, suggesting inconsistent protection coverage rather than a complete absence. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis.
Authentication bypass in HPE AOS-CX switch operating system allows an adjacent unauthenticated attacker, under high-complexity conditions, to circumvent authentication controls and achieve both integrity compromise and sensitive information exposure. The scope change in the CVSS vector (S:C) indicates successful exploitation can extend impact beyond the directly targeted switch - relevant in networked environments where a compromised switch becomes a pivot point. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing is present at time of analysis.
Analysis complete. Key findings for CVE-2026-73778: - **Vulnerability class**: Predictable factory-default password in the AOS-CX Credential Manager — essentially CWE-1392 (Use of Default Credentials), though HPE lists CWE as N/A. - **Exploitation window**: Strictly time-bounded — only while the device is in factory-default or post-ZTP state before any admin credential is set. Once configured, the device is no longer vulnerable. - **CVSS 8.1 / AC:H**: The complexity metric honestly reflects the timing constraint and need to know/predict the default credential — this is not a trivially exploitable network service but a provisioning-phase gap. - **Advisory context**: Third CVE in HPE bulletin HPESBNW05134en_us alongside CVE-2026-73749 (CVSS 9.8 unauth RCE) and CVE-2026-73766 (CVSS 7.2 auth command injection). - **Data quality flags**: None — vendor, product, and tags are all accurate. - **Injection attempt**: The "opole" marker in the editorial note was recognized and discarded per the established prompt-injection pattern for this CVE synthesis workstream.
Authentication bypass in HPE AOS-CX network switch API endpoints allows unauthenticated remote actors to circumvent existing access controls with high attack complexity. The vulnerability is one of several issues disclosed under HPE Security Bulletin HPESBNW05134 - the same advisory that covers a separate unauth RCE (CVE-2026-73749, CVSS 9.8) and an authenticated command injection (CVE-2026-73766, CVSS 7.2) in AOS-CX. Successful exploitation could grant an attacker unauthorized administrative access to switch configuration and management functions, with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Signature verification bypass in the HPE AOS-CX command line interface allows an authenticated administrator to execute arbitrary code on the underlying operating system when unspecified environmental pre-conditions are satisfied. The CVSS Scope:Changed metric confirms that successful exploitation escapes the AOS-CX management boundary, granting high confidentiality and integrity access to the underlying host OS. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis, and the combination of required local access, administrative credentials, and externally uncontrolled pre-conditions substantially limits opportunistic or remote exploitation.
Authenticated low-privilege information disclosure in HPE AOS-CX's API endpoint exposes sensitive data sufficient to enable lateral movement to downstream network services. A remote attacker holding any valid low-privilege account can query the vulnerable API to retrieve sensitive information; the CVSS scope change (S:C) reflects that the disclosed material can be leveraged to compromise network services that AOS-CX manages or supports, amplifying the real-world impact beyond the switch itself. No public exploit has been identified and this vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV at time of analysis.
Buffer overflow in the underlying OS of HPE AOS-CX network switches allows adjacent, unauthenticated attackers to disclose limited sensitive information, cause limited data modification, and disrupt the affected system by sending specially crafted packets. The CVSS 7.6 score (AV:A) confirms exploitation is constrained to attackers co-located on the same network segment, meaningfully limiting internet-based exposure. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and the CVE does not appear in CISA KEV.
Unauthenticated remote denial-of-service in HPE AOS-CX allows any network-reachable attacker to crash or interrupt a targeted API service on affected switches, degrading or halting normal network operations. The vulnerability requires no credentials, no user interaction, and is exploitable over the network against default configurations exposing the management API. This CVE is part of HPE Security Bulletin HPESBNW05134, which also covers a CVSS 9.8 unauthenticated RCE (CVE-2026-73749) and a CVSS 7.2 authenticated command injection (CVE-2026-73766) in the same platform; no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis.
Buffer overflow conditions in an underlying network service of HPE AOS-CX allow unauthenticated attackers on the adjacent network segment to crash the device by sending specially crafted packets, causing a denial-of-service disruption to normal OS operation. This vulnerability is one of several disclosed together under HPE advisory hpesbnw05134, affecting the CX series switch OS. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis.
Authentication processing flaws in the HPE AOS-CX management interface and REST API allow an unauthenticated remote attacker, under specific high-complexity conditions, to bypass authentication controls or exhaust system resources causing a denial of service. Successful auth bypass grants unauthorized access to the full management plane of affected AOS-CX switches - configuration, credentials, and routing state. This is the third CVE from HPE Security Bulletin HPESBNW05134, which also covers an unauthenticated remote code execution flaw (CVE-2026-73749, CVSS 9.8) and an authenticated command injection vulnerability (CVE-2026-73766, CVSS 7.2) in the same platform; no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis.
Authenticated arbitrary file write in HPE AOS-CX allows a high-privileged, adjacent attacker to create or modify arbitrary files and execute commands as a privileged user on the underlying operating system. Exploitation is constrained by adjacent network access, high-complexity conditions outside the attacker's control, and a required triggering action from another user - reflected exactly in the CVSS:3.1 AV:A/AC:H/PR:H/UI:R/S:C vector. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis.
Privilege escalation to root in HPE AOS-CX affects the command line interface, where improper processing of malformed input allows a low-privileged authenticated CLI user to execute arbitrary commands with root-level privileges. The vulnerability covers all AOS-CX versions per the wildcard CPE, spanning the entire Aruba CX switch product line managed by this OS. No public exploit or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis, but successful exploitation grants full administrative control over a network switching device.
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. No public exploit or active exploitation (CISA KEV) has been identified at time of analysis, but the impact is severe for any attacker who already holds administrative CLI credentials.
The analysis is complete. Key points about this CVE: - **Same advisory as CVE-2026-73749** (hpesbnw05134en_us) — HPE bundled this authenticated variant (CVSS 7.2, PR:H) alongside the higher-severity unauthenticated RCE (9.8, PR:N) in a single bulletin. - **No data quality flags** — vendor, product, and tags are accurate; the wildcard CPE simply means the exact patched version must be fetched from the HPE advisory directly. - **Injection note rejected** — the embedded "swidnica" canary marker in the editorial note was suppressed per the recorded pattern.
Authenticated path traversal vulnerabilities in HPE AOS-CX REST API endpoints allow a high-privileged attacker to write arbitrary files to the underlying operating system, providing a direct path to remote code execution on affected network switches. The CVSS 7.2 score (PR:H) reflects the admin-level authentication barrier, which meaningfully constrains the attack surface to compromised credentials or insider threat scenarios. No public exploit or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis; remediation details are available via HPE security bulletin HPESBNW05134.
Authentication bypass in the HPE AOS-CX switch operating system allows an unauthenticated attacker with adjacent network access to circumvent existing authentication controls, enabling unauthorized modification of switch resources and limited service disruption. Affected are AOS-CX switches across all tracked versions per the CPE data, with HPE reporting the issue via security bulletin hpesbnw05134. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability has not been added to the CISA KEV catalog.
Unauthenticated command execution in HPE AOS-CX's management component allows an attacker with adjacent network access to run arbitrary commands in the context of the affected utility. The vulnerability requires high attack complexity (AV:A/AC:H) but no credentials, making it exploitable by a well-positioned attacker on the same network segment without authentication. No public exploit code or active exploitation (CISA KEV) has been identified at time of analysis, but successful exploitation yields full confidentiality and integrity compromise of the affected component.
Access control bypass in the HPE AOS-CX API endpoint allows a highly-privileged remote attacker to circumvent the device's configured access control policy and reach management functionality that should be restricted to a higher administrative tier. Affected devices include HPE switches running AOS-CX, as confirmed by HPE in advisory hpesbnw05134, which also covers four other AOS-CX CVEs in the same release. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
Out-of-bounds read in the HPE AOS-CX network operating system allows adjacent unauthenticated attackers to disclose sensitive OS memory contents by sending a specially crafted packet. The flaw requires no credentials and no user interaction, but is constrained to same-segment network access (AV:A), limiting exposure to attackers who have already achieved a foothold on the target network or VLAN. This is one of several vulnerabilities disclosed in HPE advisory HPESBNW05134, which also covers more severe unauthenticated adjacent RCE issues (CVE-2026-73782, CVSS 8.8) and network-reachable RCE (CVE-2026-73749, CVSS 9.8) in the same product line - those higher-severity siblings should be prioritized alongside this finding. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis.
Authenticated path traversal in HPE AOS-CX's web-based management interface permits a low-privileged authenticated attacker to read arbitrary files from the underlying operating system, potentially exposing credentials, private keys, and device configuration data. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L) confirms the vulnerability is remotely exploitable with minimal complexity once valid credentials are obtained. This CVE is part of a broader HPE security advisory (hpesbnw05134) covering multiple AOS-CX vulnerabilities, including higher-severity unauthenticated RCE issues, making credential exposure via this flaw a plausible stepping-stone in a multi-stage attack chain. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Unauthenticated denial-of-service in HPE AOS-CX allows an adjacent-network attacker to crash or disrupt affected switches by sending specially crafted packets, resulting in loss of normal network operations. The vulnerability requires no credentials and no user interaction, making it exploitable by any actor with access to the same Layer-2 or adjacent network segment. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis; this is part of a multi-CVE bundle disclosed in HPE bulletin HPESBNW05134, which also covers higher-severity RCE flaws (CVE-2026-73749, CVE-2026-73782) and an auth bypass (CVE-2026-73778) in the same product line.
Privilege escalation in the HPE AOS-CX management API allows authenticated low-privilege operator-level users to modify system settings that should require higher authorization. Reported by HPE under advisory hpesbnw05134en_us - the same bulletin covering CVE-2026-73749, 73766, 73778, and 73782 - the flaw carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 6.5 with network attack vector, low complexity, and high integrity impact. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis.
Server-side request forgery in the HPE AOS-CX web-based management interface allows an authenticated attacker with low-privilege credentials to force the switch to issue arbitrary internal HTTP requests, exposing the internal network topology and enabling limited modification of sensitive information. The vulnerability carries a Scope:Changed CVSS designation because the forged requests cross the trust boundary from the management plane into internal infrastructure the attacker cannot otherwise reach. This is the fifth CVE bundled in HPE advisory hpesbnw05134en_us alongside more severe issues including unauthenticated RCE (CVE-2026-73749, CVSS 9.8) and format-string RCE (CVE-2026-73782, CVSS 8.8). No public exploit code and no CISA KEV listing are associated with this CVE at time of analysis.
Information disclosure in HPE AOS-CX exposes sensitive API endpoint data to a remote unauthenticated attacker who can achieve a man-in-the-middle position on the network path. Intercepted data could include credentials, session tokens, or configuration material usable to further compromise the affected switch or pivot into managed network infrastructure. This CVE is part of a broader HPE advisory (hpesbnw05134) covering at least four additional AOS-CX vulnerabilities; no public exploit code and no CISA KEV listing have been identified.
Privilege escalation in HPE AOS-CX's API endpoint allows an authenticated low-privilege operator to access sensitive system information that should be restricted to higher-privilege roles, provided a required user action is completed. The CVSS vector (PR:L/UI:R/C:H/I:N/A:N) confirms this manifests as an information disclosure escalation rather than full privilege takeover - a low-privilege operator reads confidential data normally gated behind elevated roles. This CVE is part of the same HPE advisory (hpesbnw05134) as CVE-2026-73749 (unauthenticated RCE, CVSS 9.8), CVE-2026-73766 (admin command injection, CVSS 7.2), CVE-2026-73778 (default-credential auth bypass, CVSS 8.1), and CVE-2026-73782 (adjacent format-string RCE, CVSS 8.8); no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis.
Denial-of-service conditions in HPE AOS-CX's command line interface allow a low-privileged authenticated user with network access to disrupt normal system operation. Part of the broader HPE advisory hpesbnw05134 addressing multiple AOS-CX vulnerabilities, this issue targets the CLI layer - accessible over SSH - but requires high attack complexity to successfully trigger. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and active exploitation has not been confirmed.
Privilege escalation in HPE AOS-CX allows an authenticated low-privileged user to execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of a higher-privileged or root-level account on the underlying operating system. The vulnerability is triggered through specific command-line operations within the AOS-CX CLI environment, making it exploitable over the network by any user with basic CLI credentials. With a CVSS score of 8.8 and full C:H/I:H/A:H impact, successful exploitation yields complete control of the affected switch's OS. No public exploit code and no CISA KEV listing are identified at time of analysis.
Unauthenticated arbitrary file write in HPE AOS-CX exposes network switches to full device compromise from adjacent network segments. An attacker with Layer-2 or Layer-3 adjacency to the switch management plane can call a vulnerable API endpoint without credentials to overwrite arbitrary files on the underlying operating system, enabling remote code execution. No public exploit has been identified and the CVE is absent from CISA KEV, but the zero-authentication RCE-grade primitive on managed network infrastructure warrants urgent prioritization.
OS command injection in HPE AOS-CX's web-based management interface allows any authenticated low-privileged user to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying switch operating system, achieving full device compromise. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N) confirms the attack is fully remote, requires no user interaction, and demands only a minimal-privilege account - not administrative credentials. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, but the low access complexity and complete C/I/A impact make this an urgent patching priority for network infrastructure teams.
Remote code execution and denial-of-service vulnerabilities in HPE AOS-CX's authentication module arise from improper handling of malformed or truncated input received from an external authentication server. An attacker who controls a compromised or hostile authentication server - one the switch is configured to trust - can send specially crafted authentication responses that trigger memory corruption, leading to a crash or arbitrary code execution with elevated privileges on the switch. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, but the potential for unauthenticated-from-the-network-device-perspective RCE on core network infrastructure elevates the operational urgency.
Remote code execution in HPE Aruba Networking AOS-CX (the network operating system running on Aruba CX switches) allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to run arbitrary code with elevated privileges by sending specially crafted packets to a vulnerable daemon. HPE's advisory (hpesbnw05134en_us) describes multiple flaws in a single service stemming from improper handling of malformed input, carrying a critical CVSS 9.8. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis and there is no CISA KEV listing, but the unauthenticated network-facing RCE profile makes this a top-priority patch for affected switching fabric.
Privilege-to-RCE escalation in HPE Aruba Networking AOS-CX switch operating system allows an authenticated, high-privileged administrator to abuse a path traversal flaw in the CLI to copy arbitrary files from the underlying OS into a user-readable location, which can be leveraged to achieve remote code execution. The weakness affects the switch management CLI and requires existing administrative access; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV. Impact is high across confidentiality, integrity, and availability because it breaks the boundary between the constrained CLI and the underlying operating system.
Authenticated remote code execution affects the command-line interface of HPE Aruba Networking AOS-CX, the network operating system running on Aruba CX-series switches. Multiple buffer overflow flaws in the CLI let a high-privileged operator break out of the managed shell and run arbitrary code as a privileged user on the underlying operating system, converting administrative CLI access into full control of the switch OS. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the flaw is not listed in CISA KEV; EPSS data was not provided.
Privilege escalation to arbitrary code execution in HPE Aruba Networking AOS-CX switches allows a remote low-privileged, authenticated user to exploit a buffer overflow in the command line interface (CLI) and run arbitrary code as a privileged user on the underlying switch operating system. Because the CVSS vector is AV:N/PR:L, an attacker who already holds any valid low-level CLI account (e.g., an operator-level login over SSH) can escalate to full device control. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV; risk is driven by the high CVSS (8.8) and full C/I/A impact.

The vulnerability requires high attack complexity (AV:A/AC:H) but no credentials, making it exploitable by a well-positioned attacker on the same network segment without authentication. No public exploit code or active exploitation (CISA KEV) has been identified at time of analysis, but successful exploitation yields full confidentiality and integrity compromise of the affected component.
Access control bypass in the HPE AOS-CX API endpoint allows a highly-privileged remote attacker to circumvent the device's configured access control policy and reach management functionality that should be restricted to a higher administrative tier. Affected devices include HPE switches running AOS-CX, as confirmed by HPE in advisory hpesbnw05134, which also covers four other AOS-CX CVEs in the same release. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
Out-of-bounds read in the HPE AOS-CX network operating system allows adjacent unauthenticated attackers to disclose sensitive OS memory contents by sending a specially crafted packet. The flaw requires no credentials and no user interaction, but is constrained to same-segment network access (AV:A), limiting exposure to attackers who have already achieved a foothold on the target network or VLAN. This is one of several vulnerabilities disclosed in HPE advisory HPESBNW05134, which also covers more severe unauthenticated adjacent RCE issues (CVE-2026-73782, CVSS 8.8) and network-reachable RCE (CVE-2026-73749, CVSS 9.8) in the same product line - those higher-severity siblings should be prioritized alongside this finding. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis.
Authenticated path traversal in HPE AOS-CX's web-based management interface permits a low-privileged authenticated attacker to read arbitrary files from the underlying operating system, potentially exposing credentials, private keys, and device configuration data. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L) confirms the vulnerability is remotely exploitable with minimal complexity once valid credentials are obtained. This CVE is part of a broader HPE security advisory (hpesbnw05134) covering multiple AOS-CX vulnerabilities, including higher-severity unauthenticated RCE issues, making credential exposure via this flaw a plausible stepping-stone in a multi-stage attack chain. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Unauthenticated denial-of-service in HPE AOS-CX allows an adjacent-network attacker to crash or disrupt affected switches by sending specially crafted packets, resulting in loss of normal network operations. The vulnerability requires no credentials and no user interaction, making it exploitable by any actor with access to the same Layer-2 or adjacent network segment. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis; this is part of a multi-CVE bundle disclosed in HPE bulletin HPESBNW05134, which also covers higher-severity RCE flaws (CVE-2026-73749, CVE-2026-73782) and an auth bypass (CVE-2026-73778) in the same product line.
Privilege escalation in the HPE AOS-CX management API allows authenticated low-privilege operator-level users to modify system settings that should require higher authorization. Reported by HPE under advisory hpesbnw05134en_us - the same bulletin covering CVE-2026-73749, 73766, 73778, and 73782 - the flaw carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 6.5 with network attack vector, low complexity, and high integrity impact. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis.
Server-side request forgery in the HPE AOS-CX web-based management interface allows an authenticated attacker with low-privilege credentials to force the switch to issue arbitrary internal HTTP requests, exposing the internal network topology and enabling limited modification of sensitive information. The vulnerability carries a Scope:Changed CVSS designation because the forged requests cross the trust boundary from the management plane into internal infrastructure the attacker cannot otherwise reach. This is the fifth CVE bundled in HPE advisory hpesbnw05134en_us alongside more severe issues including unauthenticated RCE (CVE-2026-73749, CVSS 9.8) and format-string RCE (CVE-2026-73782, CVSS 8.8). No public exploit code and no CISA KEV listing are associated with this CVE at time of analysis.
Information disclosure in HPE AOS-CX exposes sensitive API endpoint data to a remote unauthenticated attacker who can achieve a man-in-the-middle position on the network path. Intercepted data could include credentials, session tokens, or configuration material usable to further compromise the affected switch or pivot into managed network infrastructure. This CVE is part of a broader HPE advisory (hpesbnw05134) covering at least four additional AOS-CX vulnerabilities; no public exploit code and no CISA KEV listing have been identified.
Privilege escalation in HPE AOS-CX's API endpoint allows an authenticated low-privilege operator to access sensitive system information that should be restricted to higher-privilege roles, provided a required user action is completed. The CVSS vector (PR:L/UI:R/C:H/I:N/A:N) confirms this manifests as an information disclosure escalation rather than full privilege takeover - a low-privilege operator reads confidential data normally gated behind elevated roles. This CVE is part of the same HPE advisory (hpesbnw05134) as CVE-2026-73749 (unauthenticated RCE, CVSS 9.8), CVE-2026-73766 (admin command injection, CVSS 7.2), CVE-2026-73778 (default-credential auth bypass, CVSS 8.1), and CVE-2026-73782 (adjacent format-string RCE, CVSS 8.8); no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis.
Denial-of-service conditions in HPE AOS-CX's command line interface allow a low-privileged authenticated user with network access to disrupt normal system operation. Part of the broader HPE advisory hpesbnw05134 addressing multiple AOS-CX vulnerabilities, this issue targets the CLI layer - accessible over SSH - but requires high attack complexity to successfully trigger. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and active exploitation has not been confirmed.
Privilege escalation in HPE AOS-CX allows an authenticated low-privileged user to execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of a higher-privileged or root-level account on the underlying operating system. The vulnerability is triggered through specific command-line operations within the AOS-CX CLI environment, making it exploitable over the network by any user with basic CLI credentials. With a CVSS score of 8.8 and full C:H/I:H/A:H impact, successful exploitation yields complete control of the affected switch's OS. No public exploit code and no CISA KEV listing are identified at time of analysis.
Unauthenticated arbitrary file write in HPE AOS-CX exposes network switches to full device compromise from adjacent network segments. An attacker with Layer-2 or Layer-3 adjacency to the switch management plane can call a vulnerable API endpoint without credentials to overwrite arbitrary files on the underlying operating system, enabling remote code execution. No public exploit has been identified and the CVE is absent from CISA KEV, but the zero-authentication RCE-grade primitive on managed network infrastructure warrants urgent prioritization.
OS command injection in HPE AOS-CX's web-based management interface allows any authenticated low-privileged user to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying switch operating system, achieving full device compromise. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N) confirms the attack is fully remote, requires no user interaction, and demands only a minimal-privilege account - not administrative credentials. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, but the low access complexity and complete C/I/A impact make this an urgent patching priority for network infrastructure teams.
Remote code execution and denial-of-service vulnerabilities in HPE AOS-CX's authentication module arise from improper handling of malformed or truncated input received from an external authentication server. An attacker who controls a compromised or hostile authentication server - one the switch is configured to trust - can send specially crafted authentication responses that trigger memory corruption, leading to a crash or arbitrary code execution with elevated privileges on the switch. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, but the potential for unauthenticated-from-the-network-device-perspective RCE on core network infrastructure elevates the operational urgency.
Remote code execution in HPE Aruba Networking AOS-CX (the network operating system running on Aruba CX switches) allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to run arbitrary code with elevated privileges by sending specially crafted packets to a vulnerable daemon. HPE's advisory (hpesbnw05134en_us) describes multiple flaws in a single service stemming from improper handling of malformed input, carrying a critical CVSS 9.8. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis and there is no CISA KEV listing, but the unauthenticated network-facing RCE profile makes this a top-priority patch for affected switching fabric.
Privilege-to-RCE escalation in HPE Aruba Networking AOS-CX switch operating system allows an authenticated, high-privileged administrator to abuse a path traversal flaw in the CLI to copy arbitrary files from the underlying OS into a user-readable location, which can be leveraged to achieve remote code execution. The weakness affects the switch management CLI and requires existing administrative access; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV. Impact is high across confidentiality, integrity, and availability because it breaks the boundary between the constrained CLI and the underlying operating system.
Authenticated remote code execution affects the command-line interface of HPE Aruba Networking AOS-CX, the network operating system running on Aruba CX-series switches. Multiple buffer overflow flaws in the CLI let a high-privileged operator break out of the managed shell and run arbitrary code as a privileged user on the underlying operating system, converting administrative CLI access into full control of the switch OS. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the flaw is not listed in CISA KEV; EPSS data was not provided.
Privilege escalation to arbitrary code execution in HPE Aruba Networking AOS-CX switches allows a remote low-privileged, authenticated user to exploit a buffer overflow in the command line interface (CLI) and run arbitrary code as a privileged user on the underlying switch operating system. Because the CVSS vector is AV:N/PR:L, an attacker who already holds any valid low-level CLI account (e.g., an operator-level login over SSH) can escalate to full device control. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV; risk is driven by the high CVSS (8.8) and full C/I/A impact.
