Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Mar 12, 2026
Authenticated administrators of AOS-CX Switches can inject arbitrary commands through a custom binary in the CLI, potentially compromising switch integrity and network operations. This high-privilege attack requires valid credentials and direct network access but carries no patch availability, leaving affected deployments at persistent risk.
Earlier versions of this analysis (1)
A vulnerability in a custom binary used in AOS-CX Switches' CLI could allow an authenticated remote attacker with high privileges to perform command injection. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to execute unauthorized commands. [CVSS 7.2 HIGH]
RemediationAI
Monitor vendor advisories for a patch. Restrict network access to the affected service where possible.

DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability in a custom binary used in AOS-CX Switches' CLI could allow an authenticated remote attacker with high privileges to perform command injection. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to execute unauthorized commands.
Executive ViewAI
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 network infrastructure integrity and availability. Since no patch is currently available, immediate mitigation measures are required to reduce exposure across your switching environment.
Restrict CLI access to minimal set of high-privilege accounts; enforce network segmentation isolating management traffic; require multi-factor authentication for all switch management sessions; implement command filtering/WAF rules on management access points to block suspicious CLI patterns; disable unnecessary CLI features if feasible; increase monitoring and logging of all privileged CLI commands; use out-of-band management networks where possible; maintain enhanced audit logs for forensic capability.
