Privileged command execution via arbitrary file write
Published Jan 13, 2026 · Updated Jan 13, 2026
Arbitrary file write in HPE Aruba Networking AOS-8 and AOS-10 WebUI allows remote authenticated users to execute privileged commands. The interface applies attacker-controlled file data to arbitrary operating-system files; HPE has not disclosed the affected endpoint or missing validation. Exploitation requires high-privilege authentication to the management interface and grants file creation, file modification, and privileged command execution.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=10.3.0.0 <=10.4.1.9
- Affected versionversion=10.6.0.0 <=10.7.2.1
- Affected versionversion=8.10.0.0 <=8.10.0.20
- Affected versionversion=8.12.0.0 <=8.13.1.0
