CVE-2026-44861: Vulnerability in Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) HPE Aruba Networking Wireless Operating System (AOS)
SQL injection vulnerabilities exist in several underlying service components accessible through the AOS-8 and AOS-10 command-line interface and management protocol. An authenticated attacker with administrative privileges could exploit these vulnerabilities by injecting crafted input into parameters that are passed unsanitized to backend database queries. Successful exploitation could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves SQL injection flaws in multiple service components of HPE Aruba Networking Wireless Operating System (AOS) versions 8.10.0.0, 8.12.0.0, 8.13.0.0, 10.4.0.0, 10.7.0.0, and 10.8.0.0. The injection points exist in parameters passed unsanitized to backend database queries through the AOS-8 and AOS-10 command-line interface and management protocol. Exploitation requires authenticated administrative access and could lead to arbitrary command execution on the underlying OS. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 7.2, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, high privileges required, no user interaction, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No vendor advisory or patch information is currently available.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an authenticated attacker with administrative privileges to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system, potentially compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system. This could lead to full system compromise of the HPE Aruba Networking Wireless Operating System devices running 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, restrict administrative access to trusted personnel only and monitor for unusual activity. Do not expose management interfaces to untrusted networks. Follow vendor communications closely for updates on patches or mitigations.
