CVE-2026-63454: Vulnerability in Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) AOS-CX
An authenticated path traversal vulnerability exists in AOS-CX. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability allows an attacker to copy arbitrary files to a user readable location from the command line interface of the underlying operating system, which could lead to remote code execution.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
An authenticated path traversal vulnerability exists in HPE AOS-CX, allowing an attacker with high privileges to copy arbitrary files to locations accessible to users through the command line interface of the underlying OS. This unauthorized file manipulation can lead to remote code execution. The vulnerability affects versions 10.13.0000, 10.16.0000, 10.17.0000, and 10.18.0000 of AOS-CX. No official remediation or patch has been documented in the provided data as of the publication date.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation enables an authenticated attacker to copy arbitrary files to user-readable locations, which may lead to remote code execution. This compromises confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system, as reflected by the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since no official fix or remediation level is provided, users should monitor HPE advisories for updates. Until a patch is available, restrict access to the command line interface to trusted administrators only and apply the principle of least privilege to limit potential exploitation.
