CriticalVulnerabilityCVE-2026-79854updated 25 Oct 2026, 16:50 UTC
AOS-10 flaw lets outside attackers run commands on the system
Someone on the internet with no login could send specially crafted input to AOS-10 and make its database run their commands. From there they could take control of the underlying operating system.

How the attack works simplified
- 1Unauthenticated attackerNo login or credentials needed
- 2Crafted request sentMalicious input sent to the interface
- 3SQL injectionInput alters the database query
- 4OS command executionDatabase layer runs system commands
- ResultAttacker controls the AOS-10 host
What happened
An SQL injection flaw in an affected interface of AOS-10 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to inject SQL queries and potentially execute arbitrary operating system commands.
Why it is dangerous: Successful exploitation could give an attacker full control of the AOS-10 instance and its host, letting them change settings, access data, or disrupt network operations. Any AOS-10 deployment with the exposed interface reachable by an attacker is at risk.
Are you affected?
You are affected if you run an AOS-10 instance with the vulnerable interface reachable over the network, including from the internet.
What to do
- Check the vendor advisory for the exact affected AOS-10 versions and the fixed release.
- Update AOS-10 to the fixed version as soon as it is available.
- Until patched, restrict access to the affected interface so only trusted internal hosts can reach it.
- Review logs for unusual database errors or unexpected commands on the AOS-10 instance.
