CVE-2025-37170
Published: 13 January 2026
Summary
CVE-2025-37170 is a high-severity OS Command Injection (CWE-78) vulnerability in Arubanetworks Arubaos. Its CVSS base score is 7.2 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 17.5th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified are NIST 800-53 SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and SI-2 (Flaw Remediation).
Deeper analysis
CVE-2025-37170 is an authenticated command injection vulnerability (CWE-78) in the web-based management interface of mobility conductors running the AOS-8 operating system. It carries 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), indicating high severity due to its potential for significant impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The vulnerability 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 allows the attacker to execute arbitrary commands as a privileged user on the underlying operating system, potentially leading to full compromise of the affected device.

Directly blocks CWE-78 command injection by validating/sanitizing all inputs to the AOS-8 web management interface before they reach the OS shell.
Limits the set of OS commands and privileges available to the authenticated management account, reducing the impact of any successful injection to a privileged user.
Requires prompt application of vendor patches that eliminate the authenticated command-injection flaw in the AOS-8 mobility conductor web interface.
