Official Description
A vulnerability in the command line interface of AOS-CX Switches could allow an authenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-23816 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires high privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 7.2.
