Authenticated persistent privileged code execution
Published Nov 14, 2023 · Updated Oct 29, 2024
Incorrect authorization in HPE Aruba Access Points allows remote authenticated users to persist privileged code across reboots. HPE has not disclosed the affected component or the incorrect authorization operation applied to attacker-controlled input. High-privileged access to a network-reachable management interface is required, and successful exploitation makes privileged code survive device reboots.
