HPE patches critical ArubaOS-CX RCE flaw in network switches

HPE released patches for a critical remote code execution vulnerability in ArubaOS-CX, the OS powering its data-center and campus switches. Exploitation could allow unauthenticated attackers to take over affected devices, though no in-the-wild exploitation has been reported. The flaw is significant because network infrastructure compromise can enable lateral movement and persistent access in enterprise environments.
