Authenticated arbitrary file read via undisclosed access-control flaw
Published Oct 14, 2025 · Updated Oct 14, 2025
Arbitrary file download in ArubaOS AOS-10 and AOS-8 allows remote authenticated users to read arbitrary files through its web interface. The flaw resides in the web-based management interface, but HPE has not disclosed the request handler or access-control operation that accepts an attacker-chosen path. Exploitation requires high-privilege authentication and physical access to the controller, and the reported impact is limited to file confidentiality.
