CVE-2025-37138

Privileged command execution via CLI input injection

Published Oct 14, 2025 · Updated Oct 14, 2025

Command injection in ArubaOS 8.10, 8.12, 8.13, 10.4, and 10.7 allows physically proximate attackers to execute privileged commands. HPE has not disclosed which CLI command or argument the binary fails to neutralize before passing attacker-controlled input for operating-system execution. Physical controller access and high-privilege authentication are required; successful injection grants privileged command execution with read, write, and service-interruption capability.
