CVE-2026-79859

Summary

A buffer overflow in AOS-8's affected interface allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code as a privileged user due to insufficient bounds checking.

Exploitability

Exploitation is straightforward for remote attackers since no authentication, user interaction, or special conditions are required (CVSS AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N).

Blast radius

Successful exploitation grants full system compromise with root-level privileges on the underlying OS, enabling complete data theft, malware deployment, or service disruption.

Detection

No reliable host or network indicator is derivable from the published description.

Prioritized remediation

Upgrade to AOS-8 patched version 8.10.2 or later (vendor-specific patch level must be confirmed; if no fixed version is published by Aruba, disable the affected interface and restrict network access to it immediately).
