# CVE-2026-44852: Authenticated Remote Code Execution via Arbitrary File Overwrite in the AOS-8 and AOS-10 Web-Based Management Interface

- Severity: CVSS 7.2 (High), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=no, technicalImpact=total
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Published: 2026-05-12 · Updated: 2026-05-15

## Affected

- Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) HPE Aruba Networking Wireless Operating System (AOS): from 8.13.0.0, through 8.13.1.1; from 8.12.0.0, through 8.12.0.6; from 8.10.0.0, through 8.10.0.21; from 10.7.0.0, through 10.7.2.2; from 10.4.0.0, through 10.4.1.10

## Description

An authenticated remote code execution vulnerability exists in the AOS-8 and AOS-10 web-based management interface. A vulnerability in the certificate download functionality could allow an authenticated remote attacker to overwrite arbitrary files on the underlying operating system by exploiting improper input validation in the file path parameter. Successful exploitation could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system as a privileged user.
