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 upload vulnerability exists in the web-based management interface of mobility conductors running either AOS-10 or AOS-8 operating systems. Successful exploitation could allow an authenticated malicious actor to upload arbitrary files as a privilege user and execute arbitrary commands 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 · high confidence

Arbitrary file upload vulnerability in the web-based management interface of mobility conductors running AOS-10 or AOS-8. An authenticated attacker with management access can upload arbitrary files as a privileged user and execute commands on the underlying operating system, achieving remote code execution with elevated privileges.

MitigationApply the vendor-supplied patch or upgrade to a fixed AOS-10 or AOS-8 version. Restrict web management interface access to trusted administrators only and monitor for suspicious file upload activity.

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 installed AOS version
    Access the mobility conductor CLI and run 'show version' or check the web management interface dashboard for the AOS version number
    Affected if The version falls within any of these ranges: >= 6.5.4.0 and < 8.10.0.21; >= 8.11.0.0 and < 8.13.1.1; >= 10.3.0.0 and < 10.4.1.10; >= 10.5.0.0 and < 10.7.2.2
  2. Confirm web-based management interface is enabled
    Check the device configuration for 'web-server' or 'https-server' settings via 'show running-config | include web' or inspect the management interface access list
    Affected if The web-based management interface (HTTP/HTTPS) is accessible and enabled on the device
  3. Verify management user access
    Review the list of configured management users with administrative privileges using 'show user-database' or through the web interface user management section
    Affected if Multiple management accounts exist or accounts with elevated privileges are present, increasing the attack surface
  4. Review web server logs for suspicious upload activity
    Inspect web management logs or system logs for unusual file upload requests, atypical file types, or unexpected POST requests to upload endpoints

You are affected if your Aruba mobility conductor runs an AOS version within the affected ranges AND has the web-based management interface enabled with management user accounts accessible to attackers.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 8.10.0.21 / 8.13.1.1 / 10.4.1.10 or later
Fixed in 8.10.0.218.13.1.110.4.1.10
Interim mitigation

Apply the vendor-supplied patch or upgrade to a fixed AOS-10 or AOS-8 version. Restrict web management interface access to trusted administrators only and monitor for suspicious file upload activity.

Recommended fix High confidence

Upgrade to ArubaOS 8.10.0.21+/8.13.1.1+ (AOS-8) or 10.4.1.10+/10.7.2.2+ (AOS-10) based on your current branch

  1. 1. Identify the currently installed ArubaOS version by navigating to the web-based management interface or using 'show version' command
  2. 2. Determine which version branch your current installation falls into (AOS-8 or AOS-10)
  3. 3. Access the HPE Aruba support portal at support.hpe.com and download the appropriate fixed version for your branch
  4. 4. For AOS-8: upgrade to version 8.10.0.21 or higher, or 8.13.1.1 or higher depending on your branch
  5. 5. For AOS-10: upgrade to version 10.4.1.10 or higher, or 10.7.2.2 or higher depending on your branch
  6. 6. Back up the current configuration using 'backup flash' or via the web interface
  7. 7. Upload the new firmware image through the web-based management interface or via the CLI
  8. 8. Reload the system to apply the new firmware
Caveat Review HPE Aruba release notes for your target version to check for configuration changes, feature modifications, or migration requirements between major versions
