Which versions of AOS-CX Switches are affected by CVE-2026-23815?

A high-severity command injection vulnerability (CVE-2026-23815) affects AOS-CX network switches and could allow privileged attackers to execute unauthorized commands, potentially compromising…

How to fix or mitigate CVE-2026-23815?

Within 24 hours: Inventory all AOS-CX switches in production and identify those accessible to high-privilege accounts; restrict CLI access to essential personnel only and enforce strong multi-factor authentication. Within 7 days: Implement network segmentation to limit management plane access to switches via jump hosts or dedicated management networks; enable command audit logging and review for suspicious activity. Within 30 days: Monitor vendor advisories for patch availability; conduct tabletop exercise for incident response if a switch is compromised; develop a staged patch deployment plan for immediate execution once available.
