CVE-2026-44863
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 · uneditedSQL 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 confidenceSQL injection vulnerabilities in multiple service components of Aruba AOS-8 and AOS-10 allow authenticated administrators to inject malicious input through the CLI and management protocol. This unsanitized input reaches backend database queries, enabling arbitrary OS command execution on the underlying system.

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.
-
Identify the installed ArubaOS or SD-WAN versionAccess the device CLI and run 'show version' or 'show system information' to retrieve the exact firmware version. For management interface, check the dashboard or about page.Affected if The version falls within any of these ranges: AOS-8: 6.5.4.0 to 8.10.0.21, 8.11.0.0 to 8.12.0.6, 8.13.0.0 to 8.13.1.1; AOS-10: 10.4.0.0 to 10.4.1.10, 10.5.0.0 to 10.7.2.2; SD-WAN: 8.6.0.4-2.2.0.0 to 8.6.0.4-2.2.0.7, 8.7.0.0-2.3.0.0 to 8.7.0.0-2.3.0.9
-
Confirm the product is Aruba AOS-8, AOS-10, or SD-WANFrom the version output, verify the product line is Arubanetworks Arubaos or Arubanetworks Sd Wan. This vulnerability does not affect other Aruba product lines.Affected if The product is ArubaOS-8, ArubaOS-10, or Aruba SD-WAN and the version is in the affected ranges above.
-
Verify CLI and management protocol access is enabledCheck configuration with 'show running-config | include cli' or review management interface settings. SQL injection vectors exist in both CLI and management protocol components.Affected if CLI access or the management protocol service is enabled, which is the default configuration for administrative access.
-
Identify if the device has authenticated administrator accountsReview user database with 'show user-database' or check AAA configuration. The vulnerability requires an authenticated administrator session to inject malicious SQL input.Affected if Any local or remote administrator accounts exist and are usable for authentication to the device.
You are affected if the device runs ArubaOS-8, ArubaOS-10, or Aruba SD-WAN within the version ranges listed AND has administrator accounts configured for CLI or management interface access.

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 · scoped8.10.0.228.12.0.78.13.1.2
Apply vendor security patches for AOS-8 and AOS-10; implement parameterized queries and proper input validation on all database-facing parameters; follow least-privilege principles for administrative accounts.
ArubaOS: 8.10.0.22+ (8.10.x), 8.12.0.7+ (8.12.x), 8.13.1.2+ (8.13.x), 10.4.1.11+ (10.4.x); SD-WAN: versions > 8.6.0.4-2.2.0.7 and > 8.7.0.0-2.3.0.9
- 1. Identify the currently installed ArubaOS or SD-WAN version by running 'show version' on the device CLI
- 2. Determine which version branch your current installation falls into (6.5.x, 8.10.x, 8.11.x, 8.12.x, 8.13.x, 10.4.x for ArubaOS; or 8.6.x, 8.7.x for SD-WAN)
- 3. For ArubaOS: If running 6.5.4.0 through 8.10.x, upgrade to 8.10.0.22 or later (preferably latest 8.10.x stable)
- 4. For ArubaOS: If running 8.11.x, upgrade to 8.12.0.7 or later
- 5. For ArubaOS: If running 8.13.0.0 through 8.13.1.1, upgrade to 8.13.1.2 or later
- 6. For ArubaOS: If running 10.4.0.0 through 10.4.1.10, upgrade to 10.4.1.11 or later
- 7. For SD-WAN: If running 8.6.0.4-2.2.0.x, upgrade to the next available patch beyond 8.6.0.4-2.2.0.7
- 8. For SD-WAN: If running 8.7.0.0-2.3.0.x, upgrade to the next available patch beyond 8.7.0.0-2.3.0.9
