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
A stack overflow vulnerability exists in the AOS-10 web-based management interface of a Mobility Gateway. Successful exploitation could allow an authenticated malicious actor to execute arbitrary code as a privileged user on the underlying 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

A stack overflow vulnerability in the AOS-10 web-based management interface of a Mobility Gateway allows an authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges. The vulnerability stems from improper bounds checking on user input processed by the web interface, enabling buffer overflow on the stack.

MitigationApply vendor-provided patches for AOS-10 when available. Until then, restrict access to the management interface to trusted IP addresses and use strong authentication credentials to reduce the attack surface.

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. Confirm device is an Aruba Mobility Gateway running ArubaOS
    Access the device CLI and run 'show version' or 'show system', or check the web management interface for product identification
    Affected if Device is not an Aruba Mobility Gateway or does not run ArubaOS - this CVE does not apply
  2. Check the installed ArubaOS version
    Run 'show version' in the device CLI or look for the firmware version displayed in the web interface footer or system info page
    Affected if Version is 10.3.0.0 through 10.4.1.9, OR 10.5.0.0 through 10.7.2.1 (within the affected ranges)
  3. Verify the web-based management interface is enabled
    Run 'show web-server' or 'show running-config | include web' in the CLI to check if the HTTP/HTTPS management service is active
    Affected if Web management interface is enabled - this is required for the vulnerable code path to be reachable
  4. Confirm management interface accessibility
    Review interface bindings and access lists via 'show ip interface' or 'show access-list' to determine if the web interface is exposed beyond trusted networks
    Affected if The web management interface is reachable from untrusted or external networks (not restricted to trusted IPs)
  5. Review authentication configuration for management interface
    Check user accounts and authentication settings via 'show user-table' or 'show aaa authentication-server' to understand who can access the management interface
    Affected if Multiple accounts exist or weak credentials are configured, allowing potential authenticated attacker access

You are affected if you have an Aruba Mobility Gateway on ArubaOS versions 10.3.0.0-10.4.1.9 or 10.5.0.0-10.7.2.1 with the web-based management interface enabled and accessible to an authenticated user.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 10.4.1.10 / 10.7.2.2 or later
Fixed in 10.4.1.1010.7.2.2
Interim mitigation

Apply vendor-provided patches for AOS-10 when available. Until then, restrict access to the management interface to trusted IP addresses and use strong authentication credentials to reduce the attack surface.

Recommended fix High confidence

ArubaOS 10.4.1.10 or later (for 10.3.x branch); ArubaOS 10.7.2.2 or later (for 10.5.x-10.7.x branches)

  1. Identify the current ArubaOS version by checking the web-based management interface or using 'show version' command
  2. Determine which upgrade path applies based on current version: if running 10.3.x, upgrade to 10.4.1.10 or later; if running 10.5.x through 10.7.1.x, upgrade to 10.7.2.2 or later
  3. Download the appropriate fixed ArubaOS version from support.hpe.com
  4. Review the upgrade guide for proper upgrade procedure, including any required pre-upgrade checks
  5. Perform the upgrade during a planned maintenance window
  6. After upgrade, verify the new version is installed and the web-based management interface is functional
  7. Confirm the vulnerability is remediated
Caveat Standard ArubaOS upgrade procedures apply; ensure controller has sufficient storage and battery backup/power protection before upgrading
