Authenticated privileged command execution via CLI injection
Published Mar 29, 2021 · Updated Aug 4, 2024
Command injection in affected Aruba Instant releases allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary operating-system commands. The command-line interface fails to neutralize attacker-controlled command input before passing it to the underlying operating system. High-privilege CLI access is required; successful exploitation runs commands as a privileged user and fully compromises the access point.
