CVE-2026-44862: 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 are accessible through the AOS-8 and AOS-10 command-line interface and management protocol. An attacker with administrative privileges can exploit these flaws by sending crafted inputs that are not properly sanitized before being used in backend database queries. This can lead to execution of arbitrary commands on the device's operating system, resulting in full compromise of the affected system.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows an authenticated administrator-level attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system via SQL injection. This compromises the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected device. Given the high CVSS score of 7.2 with high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, exploitation could lead to full system compromise.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since no official fix or temporary mitigation is indicated in the available data, organizations should monitor HPE advisories closely for patches or recommended mitigations. Until a fix is available, restrict administrative access to trusted personnel only and consider additional controls to limit exposure of the command-line interface and management protocol.
