Technical details

SQL injection vulnerabilities exist within multiple service components of HPE Aruba Networking AOS-8 and AOS-10. The flaw is located in the command-line interface (CLI) and management protocol handlers, where user-supplied parameters are passed to backend database queries without sufficient sanitization. An authenticated attacker with high privileges (administrative access) can exploit this over the network by submitting specially crafted input. Successful exploitation results in a breakout from the restricted management environment, allowing the execution of arbitrary commands with the privileges of the underlying operating system.
