CVE-2026-23826: Vulnerability in Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) HPE Aruba Networking Wireless Operating System (AOS)
A vulnerability in a network management service of AOS-8 Operating System could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to exploit this vulnerability by sending specially crafted network packets to the affected device, potentially resulting in a denial-of-service condition. Successful exploitation could cause the affected service process to terminate unexpectedly, disrupting normal device operations.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability in HPE Aruba Networking Wireless Operating System (AOS) allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to cause a denial-of-service by sending specially crafted network packets to a network management service. The attack causes the service process to crash, disrupting normal device functionality. Affected versions include 8.10.0.0, 8.12.0.0, and 8.13.0.0. The CVSS 3.1 score is 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H), indicating network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges or user interaction required, and high impact on availability. No patch or official fix has been disclosed by HPE as of the published date.
Potential Impact
Exploitation results in denial-of-service by terminating a critical network management service process, disrupting normal operations of affected HPE Aruba AOS devices. There is no impact on confidentiality or integrity. The vulnerability can be exploited remotely without authentication, increasing the risk of service disruption in network environments using the affected versions.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, consider limiting network exposure of affected devices' management interfaces to trusted networks only to reduce the attack surface. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once available.
