CVE-2026-44880 is a buffer overflow vulnerability in the command line interface of Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) AOS-CX. Exploitation could allow a remote low-privileged user to execute arbitrary code with privileged access on the underlying operating system. The vulnerability has a high severity with a CVSS score of 8.8. It affects specific versions of AOS-CX including 10.13.0000, 10.16.0000, 10.17.0000, and 10.18.0000. No patch or official remediation information is currently provided.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability is a buffer overflow (CWE-120) in the command line interface of HPE AOS-CX. A remote attacker with low privileges could exploit this flaw to execute arbitrary code as a privileged user on the underlying OS, potentially leading to full system compromise. The CVSS v3.1 score of 8.8 reflects high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The affected versions explicitly include 10.13.0000, 10.16.0000, 10.17.0000, and 10.18.0000. There is no indication of known exploits in the wild or available patches at this time.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows remote code execution with privileged access, compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system. This can lead to full control over the underlying operating system by an attacker starting from low-privileged access.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a patch is available, restrict access to the command line interface to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious activity related to CLI usage.
