Raw vector
CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:NSummary
CVE-2026-23810 is a medium-severity Channel Accessible by Non-Endpoint (CWE-300) vulnerability in Arubanetworks Arubaos. Its CVSS base score is 4.3 (Medium).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Adversary-in-the-Middle (T1557); ranked at the 8th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to IA-3 (Device Identification and Authentication) and SC-11 (Trusted Path) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data
A vulnerability in the packet processing logic may allow an authenticated attacker to craft and transmit a malicious Wi-Fi frame that causes an Access Point (AP) to classify the frame as group-addressed traffic and re-encrypt it using the Group Temporal…

Key (GTK) associated with the victim's BSSID. Successful exploitation may enable GTK-independent traffic injection and, when combined with a port-stealing technique, allows an attacker to redirect intercepted traffic to facilitate machine-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks across BSSID boundaries.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
IA-3 mandates device identification and authentication prior to establishing communications, addressing the non-endpoint actor risk.
SC-23 enforces session authenticity protections that verify both endpoints and prevent channel manipulation by outsiders.
SC-11 provides an isolated trusted path that cryptographically or physically assures the identities of the two endpoints.
SC-8 directly requires cryptographic or equivalent mechanisms to protect the integrity (and confidentiality) of transmitted data, stopping non-endpoint interference.
AC-17 requires documented usage restrictions and secure configuration for remote access channels, reducing exposure to non-endpoint actors.
IA-2 requires unique identification and authentication of organizational users before any channel use, blocking unauthenticated endpoint access.
Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Enforces authentication of endpoints, mitigating non-endpoint access but not channel integrity itself.
Directly protects integrity of data-in-transit, addressing channel integrity but not endpoint identity verification.
Supports verification of identity assertions exchanged over the channel.
Reduces unauthorized network access that could exploit an unprotected channel.
Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Cryptography provides channel integrity and can support endpoint authentication.
Secure authentication mechanisms verify actor identity at both ends of the channel.
Information transfer policies address secure exchange but are high-level and not technical.
Network security controls directly address channel integrity and endpoint authentication.
Security of network services includes measures to verify endpoints and protect channel integrity.
Network segregation reduces exposure but does not verify endpoint identity or channel integrity.
