CVE-2026-79862

Summary

Buffer overflow in AOS-10 or AOS-8's affected interface allows unauthenticated adjacent attackers to execute arbitrary code by sending crafted packets, potentially leading to full system compromise as a privileged user.

Exploitability

Exploitation requires an unauthenticated adjacent attacker (same Layer 2 segment) with no user interaction; low complexity but limited physical proximity.

Blast radius

Successful exploitation grants privileged code execution on the underlying OS, enabling full system takeover, lateral movement, and data exfiltration within the local network.

Detection

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

Prioritized remediation

Upgrade to AOS-10 version 10.2.3 or AOS-8 version 8.9.4 (or later), as these are the first fixed releases addressing CVE-2026-79862 per vendor advisory.
