MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI
Why these techniques?
Stack-based buffer overflow in web management interface directly enables remote arbitrary code execution by an authenticated high-privileged actor, mapping to exploitation of a public-facing application.
NVD Description
A stack overflow vulnerability exists in the AOS-10 web-based management interface of a Mobility Gateway. Successful exploitation could allow an authenticated malicious actor to execute arbitrary code as a privileged user on the underlying operating system.
Deeper analysisAI
CVE-2025-37169 is a stack overflow vulnerability in the AOS-10 web-based management interface of a Mobility Gateway. It corresponds to CWE-787 (Out-of-bounds Write) and CWE-121 (Stack-based Buffer Overflow), with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.2 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H). The issue was published on 2026-01-13.
An authenticated malicious actor with high privileges (PR:H) can exploit this vulnerability over the network with low complexity and no user interaction required. Successful exploitation enables arbitrary code execution as a privileged user on the underlying operating system, potentially leading to full system compromise including high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts.
The HPE security bulletin at https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=hpesbnw04987en_us&docLocale=en_US provides details on mitigation, including available patches or workarounds for affected Mobility Gateway systems running AOS-10.
