Description
A sensitive information disclosure vulnerability in the Wi-Fi frame processing of AOS-10 could allow an unauthenticated adjacent attacker to access sensitive information. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to retrieve information which could be used to potentially gain further access to network services supported by AOS-10, or to interrupt the normal operation of the affected service.

Impact

AOS‑10’s Wi‑Fi frame processing contains a flaw that allows an unauthenticated adjacent attacker to read sensitive information without authorization. The vulnerability is designated as CWE‑200 and leads to unauthorized disclosure of data that could enable the attacker to gain further network access or to disrupt normal operation of services supported by AOS‑10. While it does not provide direct execution privileges, the exposure of confidential information poses a significant confidentiality risk.

Affected Systems

All Hewlett Packard Enterprise ArubaOS (AOS) devices running the AOS‑10 Wi‑Fi frame processing component are affected; version details are not provided, so any AOS‑10 implementation should be considered vulnerable until an official fix is applied.

Risk and Exploitability

With a CVSS score of 9.3 this flaw is marked critical, but the EPSS score of < 1 % indicates a low likelihood of exploitation, and it is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector involves an attacker sending malformed or malicious Wi‑Fi frames from any location within radio range of the device’s wireless interface, leveraging the lack of authentication to gain access; this inference is based on the description that the attacker must be adjacent and that the flaw resides in Wi‑Fi frame processing.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest ArubaOS firmware update from Hewlett Packard Enterprise that addresses the AOS‑10 Wi‑Fi frame processing vulnerability; refer to the HPE advisory linked in the CVE record for download and installation instructions.
  • If no update is available, promptly disable the device’s Wi‑Fi frame processing feature or physically disconnect the wireless radio to block injection of malicious frames.
  • Segregate the device by placing it on a dedicated VLAN, enforce MAC‑address filtering or apply policy controls to restrict wireless traffic to trusted sources, reducing exposure to untrusted frames.
  • Deploy a wireless intrusion detection system or IDS/IPS that monitors for malformed or anomalous Wi‑Fi frames and generates alerts, providing early warning of exploitation attempts.
