CVE-2023-35976: Authenticated Sensitive Information Disclosure in ArubaOS Command Line Interface

Vulnerabilities exist which allow an authenticated attacker to access sensitive information on the ArubaOS command line interface. Successful exploitation could allow access to data beyond what is authorized by the users existing privilege level.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

An authenticated low-privilege user can use the ArubaOS command-line interface to view sensitive information beyond their authorized role. This is not described as an unauthenticated takeover, but it can expose high-value network configuration or operational data if CLI accounts are compromised or overbroad.

Executive priority

Prioritize remediation in environments where Aruba devices manage sensitive network segments or where CLI access is broadly available. This is a medium-severity confidentiality issue, but leaked network data can support later intrusion, lateral movement, or operational disruption.

Technical view

CVE-2023-35976 is an ArubaOS CLI information disclosure flaw with CVSS 6.5: AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N. Authenticated users can access sensitive CLI data beyond their privilege level. The source bundle identifies confidentiality impact only and does not provide CWE or exploit mechanics.

Likely exposure

Exposure applies to listed ArubaOS releases on Aruba Mobility Conductor/Master, Mobility Controllers, WLAN Gateways, and SD-WAN Gateways managed by Aruba Central. Risk is higher where CLI access is widely delegated, externally reachable from management networks, shared, or tied to compromised identity accounts.

Exploitation context

The CVE record says exploitation requires authentication with low privileges and no user interaction. The bundle does not show CISA KEV listing, public exploitation, or exploit availability. Treat it as a privilege-bound confidentiality issue unless vendor or threat intelligence sources provide stronger evidence.

Researcher notes

The available evidence is limited to authenticated information disclosure through ArubaOS CLI privilege boundary failure. No exploit details, CWE, or patch version data are included in the supplied bundle beyond the Aruba advisory URL and affected version ranges.

Mitigation direction

  • Review the Aruba advisory for fixed releases and official mitigation guidance.
  • Upgrade affected ArubaOS deployments according to vendor guidance.
  • Restrict ArubaOS CLI access to trusted administration networks and users.
  • Remove unnecessary low-privilege CLI accounts and shared credentials.
  • Monitor administrative authentication and unusual CLI access patterns.

Validation and detection

  • Inventory ArubaOS versions across listed Aruba platforms.
  • Confirm whether deployments match the affected version ranges.
  • Review CLI role assignments for excessive access.
  • Check management-plane exposure and access-control boundaries.
  • Review logs for unexpected authenticated CLI sessions.
