Authenticated service interruption via undisclosed CLI flaw

Published Nov 14, 2023 · Updated Aug 29, 2024

Denial of service in the CLI service of HPE Aruba Access Points allows remote authenticated users to interrupt normal access-point operation. HPE has not published the CLI command, input-processing flaw, or failure mode that triggers the interruption. Network access to the CLI and low privileges are required; exploitation disrupts availability without reported data exposure or modification.
