CVE-2026-44864
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 · high confidenceSQL injection vulnerabilities exist in multiple underlying service components accessible through Aruba AOS-8 and AOS-10 command-line interface and management protocol. An authenticated attacker with administrative privileges can inject crafted input into parameters passed unsanitized to backend database queries, enabling execution of arbitrary OS commands.

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 versionAccess the CLI and run 'show version' or access the WebUI dashboard to view the software version displayedAffected if The version falls within any of these ranges: >= 6.5.4.0 and < 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; >= 10.5.0.0 and < 10.7.2.3
-
Identify SD-WAN deployment version if applicableIf the device runs SD-WAN software, run 'show version' or check the management interface for the SD-WAN version informationAffected if The SD-WAN version is between 8.6.0.4-2.2.0.0 and 8.6.0.4-2.2.0.7 inclusive, or between 8.7.0.0-2.3.0.0 and 8.7.0.0-2.3.0.9 inclusive
-
Verify administrative accounts existCheck for configured administrative users by running 'show user-database' or viewing user accounts in the WebUI under Configuration > Management > Administrative UsersAffected if Administrative user accounts are present on the system (the vulnerability requires an authenticated attacker with admin privileges)
-
Assess management interface exposureReview the device management configuration by running 'show management' or checking the WebUI under Configuration > Management > Access Points to determine if CLI or management protocol is accessible from external networksAffected if The management interface is reachable from untrusted networks (this determines the likelihood of an external attacker exploiting the flaw)
You are affected if your installed ArubaOS version falls within the listed version ranges or your SD-WAN version matches the specified ranges, and your device has administrative accounts that could be compromised by an attacker with network access to management interfaces.

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
Restrict administrative access to trusted personnel, implement parameterized queries or input validation for all database interactions, and apply vendor-provided patches for AOS-8 and AOS-10 when available.
ArubaOS: upgrade to 8.10.0.22+, 8.12.0.7+, 8.13.1.2+, or 10.4.1.11+ depending on your branch; SD-WAN: contact HPE for fixed release beyond 8.6.0.4-2.2.0.7 and 8.7.0.0-2.3.0.9
- 1. Identify the exact ArubaOS or SD-WAN version currently installed using 'show version' command in the CLI
- 2. For ArubaOS 8.10.x: Plan upgrade to version 8.10.0.22 or later
- 3. For ArubaOS 8.11.x-8.12.x: Plan upgrade to version 8.12.0.7 or later
- 4. For ArubaOS 8.13.x: Plan upgrade to version 8.13.1.2 or later
- 5. For ArubaOS 10.4.x: Plan upgrade to version 10.4.1.11 or later
- 6. For SD-WAN: Contact Aruba/HPE support for the specific fixed release for your 8.6.x or 8.7.x branch
- 7. Review the HPE Aruba support portal (support.hpe.com) for the appropriate upgrade firmware file and release notes
- 8. Back up the current configuration using 'backup flash' or the management interface
