CVE-2022-37909

Adjacent unauthenticated disclosure of configured ESSID data

Published Nov 3, 2022 · Updated May 2, 2025

Information disclosure in affected ArubaOS controller and gateway releases allows attackers to read sensitive data from configured ESSIDs. HPE has not published the flawed component or operation that exposes the ESSID information. Exploitation requires adjacent network access without authentication, certain ArubaOS configurations, and complex external factors beyond an attacker's control.
