Authenticated command execution via command-line injection
Published Sep 7, 2021 · Updated Aug 4, 2024
Command injection in the Mobility Conductor CLI in ArubaOS allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands as a privileged user. The command-line interface fails to neutralize special elements in authenticated input before passing it to privileged system commands. Administrative CLI access is required, and successful exploitation fully compromises the underlying system.
