CVE-2023-43510Network attack vector

Authenticated command execution via undisclosed management-interface flaw

Published Oct 24, 2023 · Updated Sep 11, 2024

Command injection in HPE Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager releases allows remote authenticated users to execute commands as a non-privileged host user. HPE has not published the vulnerable endpoint, input field, or command-building operation that fails to neutralize untrusted input. Administrative access to the web-based management interface is required, and successful exploitation permits partial compromise of the appliance host.
