Parameter Injection Vulnerability in AOS-8 and AOS-10 Operating Systems by HPE

CVE-2025-23051

What is CVE-2025-23051?

CVE-2025-23051 is a parameter injection vulnerability found in the web-based management interface of the AOS-8 and AOS-10 Operating Systems developed by HPE. This vulnerability has the potential to adversely affect organizations by allowing authenticated users to exploit the flaw to overwrite arbitrary system files. Such exploitation can lead to unauthorized alterations in system configurations, potentially disrupting normal operations and compromising the integrity of the affected systems.

Technical Details

The vulnerability arises from improper validation of user-supplied input within the web management interface. Specifically, it allows an authenticated user to inject malicious parameters that can manipulate the processing of commands intended for system operation. This flaw underscores significant weaknesses in input handling, elevating the risk of unauthorized file modification.

Potential impact of CVE-2025-23051

1. System Integrity Compromise: Successful exploitation could enable attackers to overwrite critical system files, leading to potential system malfunctions and data integrity issues.

2. Operational Disruption: By altering system files, malicious actors could disrupt normal system operations, causing downtime or degraded performance, which affects business continuity.

3. Security Breach Risk: The ability to modify system settings may create pathways for further attacks, including the installation of backdoors, paving the way for more extensive system compromises and data breaches.
