CVE-2025-37161
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 · uneditedA vulnerability in the web-based management interface of affected products could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to cause a denial of service. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to crash the system, preventing it from rebooting without manual intervention and disrupting network operations.
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 confidenceThis vulnerability in the web-based management interface allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to cause denial of service by crashing the affected system. The crash prevents automatic reboot, requiring manual intervention to restore operations, resulting in disrupted network services.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Check ArubaOS versionAccess the device CLI and run 'show version' or 'show system information' to display the running OS versionAffected if The displayed version is below 10.7.2.0 (e.g., 10.6.x, 10.5.x, etc.)
-
Verify web-based management interface is enabledRun 'show web-server' in the CLI to check if the web management interface is enabledAffected if The web server status shows as enabled or running
-
Confirm management interface network accessibilityCheck the management interface IP binding with 'show ip interface' and verify the management VLAN/configuration. Attempt a simple HTTP/HTTPS connection to the management IP from an authorized host if possibleAffected if The management interface has a routable IP address and is accessible from network segments where attackers could reach it
-
Check for rate limiting configurationRun 'show web-server rate-limit' or review the web server configuration for any configured rate limiting settingsAffected if Rate limiting is not configured or is set to allow unlimited requests
You are affected if your ArubaOS version is below 10.7.2.0 and the web-based management interface is enabled and accessible from your network.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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.
dbcve · scoped10.7.2.0
Restrict network access to the management interface to trusted IPs, implement rate limiting on web services, and apply vendor patches when available. Consider deploying a WAF to mitigate attack surface until permanent fix is applied.
ArubaOS 10.7.2.0 or later
- Upgrade ArubaOS to version 10.7.2.0 or later to remediate this vulnerability
- Verify the upgrade was successful and the system is operational
- After upgrade, confirm the web-based management interface is accessible and the system can be managed normally
