CVE-2025-37163Network attack vector

Authenticated command execution via CLI injection

Published Nov 18, 2025 · Updated Feb 26, 2026

Command injection in HPE Aruba Networking AirWave 8.3.0.0 through 8.3.0.4 allows remote authenticated users to execute OS commands. HPE identifies the CLI as the affected locus but has not disclosed which command handler fails to neutralize attacker-controlled input. Administrative privileges are required, and successful exploitation runs commands with elevated privileges on the underlying server.
