Authenticated command execution via undisclosed web-interface flaw

Published Sep 9, 2026 · Updated Sep 11, 2026

Remote code execution in HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Policy Manager affected releases allows remote authenticated users to execute OS commands. HPE identifies the affected locus as the web-based management interface in 6.11.0 through 6.11.14 and 6.12.0 through 6.12.8, but has not disclosed the request path, input, or wrong operation. Exploitation requires high-privilege authentication and network access; successful use executes arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system.
