Hewlett Packard Enterprise released security updates for multiple vulnerabilities in HPE Aruba Networking access points running Instant AOS-8 and AOS-10, including two critical flaws that can lead to remote code execution. The most severe issues, tracked as CVE-2024-42509 and CVE-2024-47460, affect the CLI service and can be exploited by an unauthenticated attacker by sending specially crafted packets to UDP port 8211, where the PAPI management protocol listens, enabling command injection and code execution on vulnerable devices.
HPE also addressed four additional high-severity vulnerabilities — CVE-2024-47461, CVE-2024-47462, CVE-2024-47463, and CVE-2024-47464 — that could allow a remote authenticated attacker to execute code or access sensitive information. HPE advised organizations to upgrade to fixed AOS-10 and Instant AOS-8 releases immediately, restrict exposure of management interfaces if patching cannot be completed at once, and replace Aruba products that have reached end of support.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (**HPE Aruba Networking**) disclosed and patched multiple high-severity vulnerabilities affecting *Aruba Networking Instant On* access points/routers, warning that devices running software `3.3.1.0` and earlier are exposed to **information disclosure** and **denial-of-service (DoS)** conditions. The most notable issues include **CVE-2025-37165** (CVSS 7.5), which can expose VLAN and other internal network configuration details via unintended interfaces when operating in router mode, and **CVE-2025-37166** (CVSS 7.5), where specially crafted packets can drive devices into a non-responsive state that may require a hard reset to restore service. HPE also addressed kernel-level packet-processing weaknesses (**CVE-2023-52340** and **CVE-2022-48839**) tied to IPv4/IPv6 handling that can lead to memory corruption and service disruption. Separately, HPE Aruba issued an advisory for **ArubaOS AOS-8 and AOS-10** used by Mobility Conductors, Controllers, and Gateways, patching a broader set of vulnerabilities spanning authenticated command injection and web-interface flaws. The highest-impact item highlighted is **CVE-2025-37168** (CVSS 8.2), an **unauthenticated arbitrary file deletion** vulnerability in AOS-8 Mobility Conductors that can delete critical files and trigger a DoS condition; additional fixes include an authenticated web management interface stack overflow in AOS-10 (**CVE-2025-37169**) that can enable privileged code execution, plus multiple authenticated command injection and file upload/write issues across AOS-8/AOS-10.

HPE Aruba Networking has patched **CVE-2026-73749**, a critical buffer-overflow flaw in ArubaOS-CX that lets an unauthenticated remote attacker send crafted packets to a vulnerable daemon and execute code with elevated privileges on affected CX-series switches. Fixed releases include AOS-CX `10.18.1002`, `10.17.1030`, `10.16.1060`, `10.13.1190`, and `10.10.1181`; the `10.10.x` branch is end of support and receives limited remediation. The associated security bulletin also addresses 23 additional flaws, including command execution, arbitrary file write, authentication-bypass, privilege-escalation, denial-of-service, stored-XSS, CSRF, and predictable-default-password issues. HPE reports no known exploitation or public proof-of-concept for the disclosed vulnerabilities, but administrators should promptly upgrade to supported fixed releases; where patching is delayed, restrict management web-interface access to approved IP addresses.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) released security updates for multiple products, including **HPE Aruba Networking AOS-CX** and **HPE Telco Intelligent Assurance**, and the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security amplified the guidance to review HPE advisories and apply the required patches. The Aruba AOS-CX updates address multiple issues in the switch OS, with reporting highlighting a **critical authentication bypass** in the web management interface that can allow an **unauthenticated remote attacker** to bypass authentication controls and, in some cases, **reset the admin password** (tracked as `CVE-2026-23813`). HPE stated it was not aware of public exploit code or active exploitation at the time of advisory publication. For **HPE Telco Intelligent Assurance**, HPE disclosed an **arbitrary code execution** risk tied to its deployment of **Apache Avro** when generating specific records from **untrusted Avro schemas** (`CVE-2025-33042`, CVSS 3.1 base score **7.3**). HPE indicated the affected Avro Java SDK versions include all versions through **1.11.4** and **1.12.0**, with fixes available in **1.11.5** or **1.12.1**; HPE Telco Intelligent Assurance remediation is provided via upgrading to **FAS 4.2.14** / **PDO 4.2.14**. Where immediate patching is not possible for Aruba AOS-CX, mitigations include restricting management-plane access (e.g., dedicated management VLAN/segment), enforcing L3 policies and control-plane ACLs, disabling unnecessary HTTP(S) exposure on SVIs/routed ports, and increasing logging/monitoring of management interface activity.
