CVE-2024-26304 is a critical remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability affecting ArubaOS due to a buffer overflow in its L2/L3 Management service. An attacker can exploit this by sending specially crafted packets to the PAPI (Process Application Programming Interface) UDP port 8211, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
- Attack Vector: Network
- Attack Complexity: Low
- Privileges Required: None
- User Interaction: None
- Confidentiality Impact: High
- Integrity Impact: High
- Availability Impact: High
- ArubaOS systems with vulnerable versions
- Systems using the PAPI UDP port 8211
Refer to Aruba's official advisory for details on affected versions.
An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending malicious packets to the PAPI UDP port. Successful exploitation results in arbitrary code execution, enabling the attacker to take complete control over the device.
A proof-of-concept exploit is available for this vulnerability. The exploit script CVE-2024-26304.py demonstrates how an attacker can leverage the vulnerability to execute code on the target system.
