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
SQL injection vulnerabilities exist in several underlying service components accessible through the AOS-8 and AOS-10 command-line interface and management protocol. An authenticated attacker with administrative privileges could exploit these vulnerabilities by injecting crafted input into parameters that are passed unsanitized to backend database queries. Successful exploitation could allow the attacker to 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 · moderate confidence

SQL injection vulnerabilities exist in multiple service components of Aruba AOS-8 and AOS-10, accessible through CLI and management protocol. An authenticated admin can inject malicious input into parameters that are passed unsanitized to backend database queries, leading to arbitrary OS command execution.

MitigationImplement parameterized queries/prepared statements for all database interactions, apply vendor patches when available, and limit administrative access to reduce 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. Identify the installed ArubaOS version
    Run 'show version' command in the CLI or check through the WebUI under Monitoring > Controller > Controller Version
    Affected if The version falls within any of these ranges: < 8.10.0.22, >= 8.11.0.0 and < 8.12.0.7, >= 8.13.0.0 and < 8.13.1.2, >= 10.4.0.0 and < 10.4.1.11, or >= 10.5.0.0 and < 10.7.2.3
  2. Identify the installed SD-WAN version
    Run 'show version' command in the SD-WAN CLI or check through the SD-WAN management interface
    Affected if The version is >= 8.6.0.4-2.2.0.0 and <= 8.6.0.4-2.2.0.7, or >= 8.7.0.0-2.3.0.0 and <= 8.7.0.0-2.3.0.9
  3. Verify administrative accounts exist
    Run 'show user' or check the user database via 'show user-database' in CLI, or review admin accounts in the WebUI under Configuration > Management > Users
    Affected if Any administrative accounts are configured on the system, as the exploit requires authenticated admin access
  4. Confirm CLI or management protocol access is enabled
    Check if the management interface is reachable by testing access to CLI (SSH/Telnet) or WebUI/MAPI management ports, or review interface configuration with 'show ip interface'
    Affected if CLI or management interfaces are accessible from network segments where potential attackers reside

The environment is affected if the installed ArubaOS or SD-WAN version matches one of the vulnerable version ranges AND administrative access to the CLI or management interface is possible.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 8.10.0.22 / 8.12.0.7 / 8.13.1.2 or later
Fixed in 8.10.0.228.12.0.78.13.1.2
Interim mitigation

Implement parameterized queries/prepared statements for all database interactions, apply vendor patches when available, and limit administrative access to reduce attack surface.

Recommended fix High confidence

ArubaOS: 8.10.0.22+ | 8.12.0.7+ | 8.13.1.2+ | 10.4.1.11+ (depending on branch); SD-WAN: latest version beyond affected ranges per Aruba support

  1. 1. Identify the current ArubaOS or SD-WAN version by running 'show version' on the CLI
  2. 2. For ArubaOS 8.10.x customers: Upgrade to version 8.10.0.22 or later
  3. 3. For ArubaOS 8.11.x customers: Upgrade to version 8.12.0.7 or later
  4. 4. For ArubaOS 8.13.x customers: Upgrade to version 8.13.1.2 or later
  5. 5. For ArubaOS 10.4.x customers: Upgrade to version 10.4.1.11 or later
  6. 6. For SD-WAN customers: Upgrade to a version beyond 8.6.0.4-2.2.0.7 or 8.7.0.0-2.3.0.9 as provided by Aruba support
  7. 7. After upgrade, verify the new version with 'show version' and confirm the SQL injection vulnerability is resolved
  8. 8. Review user administrative privileges to ensure only necessary personnel have administrative access
Caveat Upgrading between major versions may introduce configuration or behavioral changes; test in lab environment before production deployment
