AV N AC L PR N UI N S U C H I H A H

Command injection vulnerabilities in the underlying CLI service could lead to unauthenticated remote code execution by sending specially crafted packets destined to the PAPI (Aruba's Access Point management protocol) UDP port (8211). Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities results in the ability to execute arbitrary code as a privileged user on the underlying operating system.

Detection & IOCs extracted from sources · hover to see the quote

port UDP/8211↗

• → Alert on command injection activity originating from the CLI service process on Aruba Access Points, particularly any process spawning with privileged user context following inbound UDP/8211 traffic. ↗
• → For Instant AOS-8.x devices, absence of 'cluster-security' configuration combined with exposure of UDP/8211 to untrusted networks is a high-risk indicator. For AOS-10 devices, any access to UDP/8211 from untrusted networks should be treated as suspicious. ↗

• · No public exploit code was available and no active exploitation reported at time of disclosure, but the vulnerability is unauthenticated and remotely exploitable with no prerequisites beyond network access to UDP/8211. ↗
