Limited-privilege access to protected management URLs
Published Dec 8, 2022 · Updated Apr 23, 2025
Broken access control in Aruba AirWave Management Platform 8.2.15.0 and earlier lets remote authenticated users access sensitive data and alter network settings. The web-based management interface exposes some URLs without proper authorization checks, allowing requests to reach functions reserved for higher effective privileges. Exploitation requires limited privileges and network access to the management interface; reported impact is confidentiality and integrity loss, not service interruption.
