Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Arbitrary File Write vulnerabilities exist in the web-based management interface of both the AOS-10 GW and AOS-8 Controller/Mobility Conductor operating systems. Successful exploitation could allow an Authenticated attacker to upload arbitrary files and execute arbitrary commands on the underlying host operating system.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

Authenticated arbitrary file write vulnerability in Aruba AOS-10 GW and AOS-8 Controller/Mobility Conductor web management interface allows attackers to upload arbitrary files and execute commands on the underlying host OS.

MitigationApply vendor-supplied patches/updates for ArubaOS. If patches unavailable, restrict web management interface access to trusted networks/VPN and enforce strong authentication credentials.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify the ArubaOS version
    Access the device CLI and run 'show version' or check via the web management interface under Administration > System > General
    Affected if The installed version falls within: 8.10.0.0 to 8.10.0.15, 8.12.0.0 to 8.12.0.3, 10.4.0.0 to 10.4.1.6, or 10.7.0.0 to 10.7.1.0
  2. Confirm web management interface is enabled
    Run 'show web-server' in CLI or check Web Server configuration section in the web UI under Configuration > Management > Web Server
    Affected if The HTTPS or HTTP web management interface is enabled and accessible on the device
  3. Verify authentication is required for web UI access
    Check user authentication configuration via 'show aaa authentication web-ui' or review user role settings in the web management interface
    Affected if The web management interface allows unauthenticated access or uses weak/default credentials

The environment is affected if the device runs any of the vulnerable ArubaOS versions listed and has the web management interface exposed with authentication configured.

Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.

Check your environment

Paste your version and any relevant configuration and it will be compared against the affected criteria above. Do not include secrets or credentials.

AI-assisted, checked against the advisory. Informational, not a guarantee.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 8.10.0.16 / 8.12.0.4 / 10.4.1.7 or later
Fixed in 8.10.0.168.12.0.410.4.1.7
Interim mitigation

Apply vendor-supplied patches/updates for ArubaOS. If patches unavailable, restrict web management interface access to trusted networks/VPN and enforce strong authentication credentials.

Recommended fix High confidence

ArubaOS 8.10.0.16, 8.12.0.4, 10.4.1.7, or 10.7.1.1 (depending on your current version branch)

  1. 1. Identify the current ArubaOS version by navigating to the controller's WebUI: Monitoring > Dashboard > System, or by running 'show version' in CLI.
  2. 2. Based on your current version line, plan the upgrade:
  3. - If running 8.10.x: upgrade to version 8.10.0.16
  4. - If running 8.12.x: upgrade to version 8.12.0.4
  5. - If running 10.4.x: upgrade to version 10.4.1.7
  6. - If running 10.7.x: upgrade to version 10.7.1.1
  7. 3. Download the appropriate upgrade image from the HPE Aruba support portal at support.hpe.com using your contract ID.
  8. 4. Back up the current configuration using 'backup flash' command or via WebUI: Maintenance > Backup & Restore > Configuration.
Caveat Standard ArubaOS upgrade precautions apply: ensure configuration backup before upgrade, plan maintenance window as upgrade requires reboot, and verify all installed licenses are compatible with target version
