CVE-2026-44859: Vulnerability in Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) HPE Aruba Networking Wireless Operating System (AOS)
Stack-based buffer overflow vulnerabilities exist in several underlying management service components accessed through the command-line interface of the AOS-8 and AOS-10 Operating Systems. An authenticated attacker with administrative privileges could exploit these vulnerabilities by sending specially crafted requests to the affected services. Successful exploitation could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges on the underlying operating system.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves stack-based buffer overflows in multiple management service components of HPE Aruba Networking Wireless Operating System (AOS) versions 8.10.0.0 to 8.13.0.0 and 10.4.0.0 to 10.8.0.0. Exploitation requires authenticated administrative access to the command-line interface, where specially crafted requests can trigger the overflow. Successful exploitation could allow arbitrary code execution with elevated privileges on the device's operating system. The CVSS v3.1 score is 7.2, indicating high severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and no user interaction required. No official patch or remediation guidance is provided in the available information.
Potential Impact
If exploited, this vulnerability could allow an attacker with administrative privileges to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges on the underlying operating system of affected HPE Aruba Networking Wireless OS devices. This could lead to full compromise of the device, impacting confidentiality, integrity, and availability. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict administrative access to trusted personnel only and monitor for unusual activity. Avoid exposing management interfaces to untrusted networks. Follow vendor communications closely for updates on patches or official mitigations.
