An unauthenticated remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability on a device in its factory-default or post-ZTP state before any administrator has configured credentials by providing a predictable factory-default password. Successful exploitation could result in full administrative control of the affected device during the initial setup process.\n\n## Affected\n\n- `arubaos-cx <= 10.10.1180`\n- `arubaos-cx >= 10.13.0000, <= 10.13.1180`\n- `arubaos-cx >= 10.16.0000, <= 10.16.1051`\n- `arubaos-cx >= 10.17.0000, <= 10.17.1021`\n- `arubaos-cx = 10.18.0001`\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.","depth":"twilight","depthScore":45,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":44.6,"likelihood":0.1,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
