CVE-2007-0932
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedThe (1) Aruba Mobility Controllers 200, 600, 2400, and 6000 and (2) Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Wireless 43xx and 6000 do not properly implement authentication and privilege assignment for the guest account, which allows remote attackers to access administrative interfaces or the WLAN.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceThe guest account on Aruba Mobility Controllers (200, 600, 2400, 6000) and Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Wireless (43xx, 6000) has improper authentication and privilege assignment, allowing remote attackers to gain administrative interface access or full WLAN access.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify the device model and firmware versionAccess the device CLI or web interface and run 'show version' or check the system information page. Confirm the model number matches: Aruba 200, 800, 2400, 6000 or Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess 43xx, 6000.Affected if Device is an Aruba Mobility Controller (200, 800, 2400, 6000) or Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Wireless (43xx, 6000)
-
Locate the guest account configurationIn the device CLI, run 'show user' or 'show user-table' to list all configured local accounts. In the web interface, navigate to Users > Local Users or similar authentication settings.Affected if A guest account is present in the local user database
-
Verify the guest account privilege levelCheck the role, rights, or privilege attribute assigned to the guest account. In Aruba CLI, run 'show user <guest_username>' or check the user role configuration. Look for roles such as 'root', 'admin', 'administrator', or any role with write access.Affected if Guest account is assigned a role with administrative or write privileges (not a limited guest role)
-
Test guest account authentication accessAttempt to log in via the web administrative interface or CLI using the guest account credentials. Verify what system areas are accessible after authentication.Affected if Guest account can access the administrative web interface or elevated system settings
-
Check default credential statusReview whether the guest account uses default factory credentials. Compare against known default usernames/passwords for these platforms.Affected if Guest account password remains at default setting
The environment is affected if the device is an Aruba Mobility Controller or Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Wireless from the listed models AND a guest account exists with administrative privileges or unchanged default credentials.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataDisable or rename the default guest account, implement strong authentication for all accounts, and ensure guest accounts have no administrative privileges.
