CVE-2026-73787Network attack vector

Authenticated command execution via arbitrary file write

Published Sep 9, 2026 · Updated Sep 10, 2026

Command execution in HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Policy Manager 6.11.0 through 6.11.14 allows remote authenticated users to run OS commands. The CPPM web interface exposes directory information and permits an arbitrary file write, but HPE has not disclosed the affected endpoint or file-handling operation. Exploitation requires high privileges; successful use executes commands with the authority of the underlying appliance operating system.
