CVE-2026-73751: Vulnerability in Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) AOS-CX

This vulnerability (CVE-2026-73751) in HPE AOS-CX involves improper input handling in the web-based management interface. An authenticated user with low privileges can submit specially crafted input that leads to arbitrary command execution on the underlying OS. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 8.8, indicating high severity, with network attack vector, low attack complexity, no user interaction required, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The affected versions explicitly include =10.10.0000, =10.13.0000, =10.16.0000, =10.17.0000, and =10.18.0000. No vendor advisory or patch information is currently provided.

Successful exploitation allows an attacker with low-privileged authenticated access to execute arbitrary commands on the device's operating system, potentially leading to full compromise of the system, including confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts.

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict access to the web-based management interface to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious activity. Avoid granting unnecessary privileges to users who can access the management interface.
