CVE-2016-8511

31
FAUCET Score

CVE-2016-8511 is a critical Remote Code Execution vulnerability affecting multiple versions of HPE Network Automation (v9.1x through v10.20). This flaw stems from improper handling of Java Deserialization via the RPCServlet, allowing unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code. With a CVSS score of 9.8, it presents a severe risk due to its network-based attack vector, low attack complexity, and complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While no public exploit code or active exploitation has been confirmed, and community discussion is minimal, the high EPSS and FAUCET risk scores indicate its potential for significant impact.
