Access point interruption via unvalidated SSID strings
Published Oct 7, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Improper input validation in Aruba InstantOS and ArubaOS 10 allows unauthenticated adjacent attackers to interrupt access point operation. The SSID-processing path accepts certain strings without adequate input validation, but the vendor has not disclosed the exact parser or failure mode. Exploitation requires adjacent-network access and interrupts the affected access point, with no reported ability to read or alter data.
