Vulnerability Data

A session management vulnerability in AOS-8 allows previously authenticated users to retain network access after their accounts are administratively disabled. Existing sessions are not invalidated when credentials are revoked, enabling continued access until session expiration. An attacker with compromised credentials…

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

AC-12 Session Termination good match

AC-12 directly requires automatic session termination after a defined period, structurally preventing reuse of expired session identifiers.

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.

PR.AA-01 mostly match
blocks

Credential lifecycle management directly includes enforcing session expiration to prevent reuse.

PR.AA-05 mostly match
blocks

Authorization policy enforcement and review covers terminating stale sessions to limit access scope.

PR.AA-03 partial match

Authentication mechanisms can incorporate session timeout checks but do not inherently address expiration policy.
