CVE-2026-44869
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 · uneditedCommand injection vulnerabilities exist in the web-based management interface of AOS-8 and AOS-10 Operating Systems. Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow an authenticated remote 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 confidenceCommand injection vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Aruba AOS-8 and AOS-10 operating systems allows an authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary operating system commands by injecting malicious commands through insufficiently sanitized input fields in the management interface.

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 installed ArubaOS versionAccess the device CLI and run 'show version' or 'show running-config | include version' to display the firmware version. In the web interface, check under Monitoring > Summary or About.Affected if The displayed version falls within any of the affected ranges: AOS-8 versions 6.5.4.0 through 8.10.0.21, 8.11.0.0 through 8.12.0.6, or 8.13.0.0 through 8.13.1.1; AOS-10 versions 10.4.0.0 through 10.4.1.10 or 10.5.0.0 through 10.7.2.2; SD-WAN versions 8.6.0.4-2.2.0.0 through 8.6.0.4-2.2.0.7 or 8.7.0.
-
Confirm web-based management interface is enabledIn the CLI, run 'show web-server' to check if the management web interface is enabled. Alternatively, check the configuration with 'show running-config | include web-server' or 'show http-server'.Affected if The web server or HTTP/HTTPS management interface is in an enabled state
-
Verify management interface accessibilityCheck if the web management interface is bound to any IP address by running 'show web-server' or inspecting the management IP configuration. Review access control lists with 'show ip access-list' to determine if the interface is exposed to untrusted networks.Affected if The web management interface is accessible from untrusted network segments or has no IP-based access restrictions configured
-
Identify authentication method for management interfaceReview the authentication configuration for the web interface by checking 'show aaa authentication web-server' or examining the AAA settings. Determine if local accounts, TACACS+, or RADIUS are configured for management access.Affected if Valid authentication credentials exist for the web management interface, as the vulnerability requires an authenticated attacker
You are affected if your device runs any ArubaOS version within the affected ranges AND the web-based management interface is enabled and accessible with valid credentials.

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-supplied patches for AOS-8 and AOS-10. If patches are unavailable, restrict web management interface access to trusted IP addresses and implement network segmentation to limit exposure.
ArubaOS: upgrade to 8.10.0.22, 8.12.0.7, 8.13.1.2, or 10.4.1.11 (depending on your current major version branch) | SD-WAN: upgrade to a version beyond 8.6.0.4-2.2.0.7 or 8.7.0.0-2.3.0.9 (contact HPE for specific fixed release)
- 1. Identify the current ArubaOS or SD-WAN version by accessing the device's CLI or web management interface
- 2. Based on the current version, determine the appropriate fixed release from the upgrade paths below
- 3. Download the appropriate firmware from support.hpe.com (Aruba support portal)
- 4. Review the upgrade procedure in the Aruba OS Migration Guide for your specific platform
- 5. Create a backup of the current configuration
- 6. Upload the new firmware via the web interface or CLI (for example: `upgrade-software <image-url>`)
- 7. Reboot the device to apply the new firmware
- 8. After reboot, verify the new version is installed and the web management interface is functional
