CVE-2026-23595

Unauthenticated administrative account creation via API bypass

Published Feb 17, 2026 · Updated Feb 17, 2026

Authentication bypass in HPE Aruba Networking Private 5G Core 1.24.3.0 through 1.24.3.4 allows remote attackers to create admin accounts. HPE identifies the application API as the affected locus but has not published the request, endpoint, or authentication check that fails. Adjacent-network reachability is sufficient without credentials or user interaction, granting control of configuration and sensitive data.
