Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Aruba ArubaOS (the affected version unknown). It has been classified as very critical. Affected is an unknown part of the component PAPI. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a command injection vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-77.
