Privileged command execution via forged API requests
Published Sep 29, 2026 · Updated Sep 29, 2026
Server-side request forgery in HPE Networking Instant On APs 3.4.1.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute commands. The reported flaw is in an AP API endpoint, but HPE has not publicly identified the endpoint, its request handling, or the command-execution chain. Exploitation requires high-privilege API access and results in commands running with privileged operating-system rights.
