CVE-2023-22777
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 · uneditedAn authenticated information disclosure vulnerability exists in the ArubaOS web-based management interface. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability results in the ability to read arbitrary files in the underlying operating system.
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 confidenceCVE-2023-22777 is an authenticated information disclosure vulnerability in the ArubaOS web-based management interface that allows authenticated attackers to read arbitrary files from the underlying operating system. This represents a local file inclusion (LFI) vulnerability in the web management component. The vulnerability requires valid authentication credentials, but once authenticated, an attacker can traverse the file system and access sensitive files including configuration files, credentials, or system files.

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.
-
Determine installed ArubaOS versionLog into the Aruba device CLI and run the command 'show version' or check the web management login page for the version bannerAffected if The version falls within 8.6.0.0-8.6.0.19, 8.10.0.0-8.10.0.4, 10.3.0.0-10.3.1.0, or 8.7.0.0-2.3.0.0 through 8.7.0.0-2.3.0.8 (for SD-WAN)
-
Verify web management interface is enabledCheck device configuration for 'web-management' or 'https' service using 'show running-config | include web' in CLIAffected if The web-based management interface is enabled on the device
-
Confirm web interface network exposureReview access control lists or firewall rules that govern access to the management interface (typically ports 443 or 8080). Check if the interface is bound to any interface accessible from untrusted networks.Affected if The web management interface is reachable from networks other than trusted administrator networks
You are affected if your ArubaOS or SD-WAN version matches the affected ranges AND the web management interface is enabled and accessible from your network.

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 dataApply the relevant ArubaOS security patch or upgrade to a fixed version as specified in the Aruba security advisory. Restrict access to the web-based management interface to authorized administrators only via network segmentation or VPN.
