AI-suggested
Organizations should immediately audit their network environments to identify HPE AOS-CX switches running affected versions (10.10.0000 through 10.17.0000). Until patches are released, restrict CLI access strictly to trusted administrators using strong authentication methods such as multi-factor authentication. Implement network segmentation and access control lists to limit management interface exposure. Monitor logs for unusual command execution or privilege escalation attempts. Employ network intrusion detection systems to detect anomalous traffic patterns targeting switch management interfaces. Once HPE releases patches or updates, apply them promptly following tested change management procedures. Additionally, review and harden switch configurations to minimize attack surface, disable unused services, and enforce the principle of least privilege for all users. Regularly update and test incident response plans to quickly address any exploitation attempts.
Description
A vulnerability in a custom binary used in AOS-CX Switches' CLI could allow an authenticated remote attacker with high privileges to perform command injection. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to execute unauthorized commands.
