HPE has issued an urgent security advisory for its HPE Aruba Networking Fabric Composer network management software after identifying 52 vulnerabilities across multiple components.
The advisory, published on September 1, 2026, covers a wide range of affected areas including the operating system, SSH daemon, web management interface, and API endpoints. Five vulnerabilities are classified as Critical, with several enabling remote code execution or authentication bypass without requiring credentials.
Among the most severe issues is CVE-2026-76657, an API authentication bypass that could allow remote attackers to obtain full administrator privileges. CVE-2026-76658 affects the SSH daemon and permits unauthenticated execution of arbitrary commands with privileged access.
Further critical flaws include CVE-2026-19766, which enables host control from an adjacent network via authentication bypass, and CVE-2026-73700, a cross-site scripting vulnerability in the web management interface. CVE-2026-73701 allows remote code execution without authentication under specific conditions.
HPE strongly recommends that all users apply the available updates immediately to mitigate these risks.
