CERT-FR flags Aruba AOS, ClearPass flaws
Free public brief. Slack alerts on the vendors you run come with the paid plans, and a new account gets three days of them, no card.
CERT-FR advisory details dozens of vulnerabilities in HPE Aruba Networking AOS and ClearPass Policy Manager, including remote code execution and privilege escalation.
CERT-FR has published an advisory relaying HPE Aruba Networking's October 2026 security bulletins (HPESBNW05162 and HPESBNW05171), which disclose a large number of vulnerabilities across the AOS network operating system and ClearPass Policy Manager product lines. Affected versions include AOS 10.4.x prior to 10.4.1.14, 10.7.x prior to 10.7.2.7, 10.8.x prior to 10.8.1.2, 8.10.x prior to 8.10.0.24, and 8.13.x prior to 8.13.3.1, as well as ClearPass Policy Manager 6.11.x prior to 6.11.16 and 6.14.x prior to 6.14.1.
The combined set of flaws spans multiple vulnerability classes: remote code execution, privilege escalation, remote denial of service, data integrity and confidentiality violations, security policy bypass, server-side request forgery (SSRF), stored/reflected cross-site scripting (XSS), and SQL injection. Some issues allow an unauthenticated or low-privileged attacker to execute arbitrary code or escalate privileges on affected network controllers, switches, or the ClearPass policy/NAC management platform — both of which are high-value targets given their central role in network access control and segmentation.
No active exploitation is mentioned in the advisory. CERT-FR directs administrators to HPE Aruba Networking's official bulletins for patches and recommends upgrading to the fixed versions listed above as soon as possible, prioritizing internet- or management-plane-exposed ClearPass and AOS controller deployments.

What this brief leaves out
This page is the free tier: the write-up, the severity, the names. In the app the same report carries live profiles of the CVEs it names. The paid plans add the security research and news reporting the free tier leaves out.
It sits in a corpus of 14,067 reports from 142 sources, 531 of them written in the last seven days, and it grows through the day.
A new account starts with three days of all of it, no card, then keeps the government and CERT reporting free. Slack alerts are a paid-plan feature: name the vendors you run and Slack hears about the reports that touch them — about forty a week that are yours, not the four hundred that are not.
