 Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has confirmed multiple vulnerabilities in its Aruba Networking products that could allow remote arbitrary code execution.

These vulnerabilities, CVE-2025-23051 and CVE-2025-23052, affect various versions of the AOS-8 and AOS-10 Operating Systems, specifically impacting Mobility Conductors, Controllers, and managed WLAN and SD-WAN Gateways.

This advisory comes amid growing concerns within the cybersecurity community regarding the security of networking devices.

Overview of Vulnerabilities

The vulnerabilities discovered involve two primary issues:

  1. Authenticated Remote Code Execution in the AOS Web-Based Management Interface (CVE-2025-23051): This vulnerability stems from an authenticated parameter injection issue in the web-based management interface. An attacker with valid credentials can exploit this flaw to overwrite arbitrary system files, potentially compromising the entire networking infrastructure.
  2. Authenticated Command Injection Vulnerability in the CLI Interface (CVE-2025-23052): This vulnerability allows an attacker to execute arbitrary commands as a privileged user through the command line interface. If exploited, this could enable unauthorized control over critical system functions.

Both vulnerabilities have been assigned a CVSS v3.x score of 7.2, categorizing them as high-severity threats, thus prompting immediate action from network administrators.

Affected Products

The following software versions are affected:

  • AOS-10.4.x.x: 10.4.1.4 and below
  • AOS-8.12.x.x: 8.12.0.2 and below
  • AOS-8.10.x.x: 8.10.0.14 and below

Significantly, several older software versions that are no longer maintained are also vulnerable, including all versions of AOS-10.6.x.x, AOS-10.5.x.x, and various versions of AOS-8.9.x.x and earlier.

As a crucial step in safeguarding their systems, HPE Aruba Networking recommends that users upgrade to the following versions to resolve these vulnerabilities:

  • AOS-10.7.x.x: 10.7.0.0 and above
  • AOS-10.4.x.x: 10.4.1.5 and above
  • AOS-8.12.x.x: 8.12.0.3 and above
  • AOS-8.10.x.x: 8.10.0.15 and above

In addition to upgrading, HPE advises implementing stringent access controls.

To minimize the risk of exploiting these vulnerabilities, it is recommended to isolate CLI and web-based management interfaces to a dedicated VLAN or layer 2 segment, supplemented by robust firewall policies at layer 3 and above.

Erik de Jong reported the vulnerabilities through HPE’s bug bounty program, emphasizing the importance of community involvement in identifying security issues.

As of the release of this advisory, HPE does not have information regarding any active exploitations or public discussions concerning these vulnerabilities, though the potential for misuse remains high.

The discovery of these vulnerabilities in HPE Aruba Networking products serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing security challenges facing technology infrastructures today.

Network administrators are urged to take swift action to mitigate risks, ensuring that their systems are fortified against potential threats.

The emphasis on immediate software upgrades and restricted access can significantly bolster the security posture of affected networks.
