Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution Vulnerability in PAPI CLI Service

CVE-2024-42507

What is CVE-2024-42507?

The vulnerability arises from command injection flaws present in the Command Line Interface (CLI) service associated with Aruba's Access Point management protocol (PAPI). By exploiting these vulnerabilities, an attacker can send specially crafted packets to the UDP port 8211, leading to unauthorized remote code execution. This allows the attacker to run arbitrary code with elevated privileges on the underlying operating system. Organizations using affected Aruba Access Points should take immediate action to assess their security posture and apply any necessary updates or mitigations.
