Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in HPE Aruba Networking Wireless Operating Systems up to 10.13.1.1. This affects an unknown functionality of the component Wi-Fi Frame Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a improper authentication vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-287. When an actor claims to have a given identity, the product does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality. The summary by CVE is:

A vulnerability in the packet processing logic may allow an authenticated attacker to craft and transmit a malicious Wi-Fi frame that causes an Access Point (AP) to classify the frame as group-addressed traffic and re-encrypt it using the Group Temporal Key (GTK) associated with the victim's BSSID. Successful exploitation may enable GTK-independent traffic injection and, when combined with a port-stealing technique, allows an attacker to redirect intercepted traffic to facilitate machine-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks across BSSID boundaries.

The weakness was released by Xin'an Zhou, Juefei Pu, Zhutian Liu, Zhiyun Qian, Zhaowei Tan and Srikanth V. Krishnamurthy. The advisory is shared at support.hpe.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2026-23810 since 01/16/2026. The exploitability is told to be easy. The attack can only be done within the local network. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Neither technical details nor an exploit are publicly available. The price for an exploit might be around USD $5k-$25k at the moment (estimation calculated on 03/11/2026).

There is no information about possible countermeasures known. It may be suggested to replace the affected object with an alternative product.
