CVE-2022-23679Network attack vector

Command execution via unvalidated cross-site requests

Published Sep 6, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Cross-site request forgery in HPE Aruba AOS-CX allows remote attackers to execute commands through an authenticated user's session. AOS-CX accepts state-changing operations without anti-CSRF validation, treating attacker-induced requests as actions of the signed-in user. Exploitation requires user interaction and an active authenticated session; resulting command privileges are limited to those of that user.
