Workarounds
- To minimize the likelihood of an attacker exploiting this vulnerability, for APs with local web interfaces HPE Aruba Networking recommends that the CLI and web-based management interfaces be restricted to a dedicated layer 2 segment/VLAN and/or controlled by firewall policies at layer 3 and above, along with accounting controls for tracking and logging user activities and resource usage. [Note: All AOS 10 APs are managed by Central and therefore do not have local web interface enabled]
