CVE-2022-23685Network attack vector

Unauthorized endpoint actions via missing CSRF protections

Published Sep 20, 2022 · Updated May 27, 2025

Cross-site request forgery in Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager 6.9.11 and earlier and 6.10.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to submit arbitrary input. Some web-management endpoints omit CSRF protection and accept attacker-supplied input through requests issued with an authenticated user's browser session. Exploitation requires an authenticated interface user to open a crafted URL; Aruba has not disclosed the affected endpoints or exact actions.
