CVE-2026-44854: Vulnerability in Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) HPE Aruba Networking Wireless Operating System (AOS)
CVE-2026-44854 is a command injection vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Hewlett Packard Enterprise Aruba Networking Wireless Operating System versions 8.x and 10.x. An authenticated remote attacker could exploit this flaw to upload arbitrary files to the underlying operating system, potentially achieving remote code execution with privileged user rights. The vulnerability has a high severity rating with a CVSS score of 7.2. No official patch or remediation guidance has been provided yet, and no known exploits are reported in the wild.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability affects HPE Aruba Networking Wireless Operating System (AOS) versions 8.10.0.0 through 8.13.0.0 and 10.4.0.0 through 10.8.0.0. It involves command injection in the web-based management interface, allowing an authenticated attacker to upload arbitrary files to the OS, which may lead to remote code execution with elevated privileges. The CVSS 3.1 vector indicates network attack vector, low attack complexity, high privileges required, no user interaction, unchanged scope, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-77 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command).
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could allow an authenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system with privileged user rights, potentially compromising the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system. This could lead to full system compromise or disruption of network services managed by the affected device.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict access to the web-based management interface to trusted administrators only and monitor for suspicious activity. Do not expose the management interface to untrusted networks. Follow any additional guidance from HPE once published.
