CVE-2025-11192
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 · uneditedA vulnerability in Extreme Networks’ Fabric Engine (VOSS) before 9.3 was discovered. When SD-WAN AutoSense is enabled on a port, it may automatically configure fabric connectivity without validating ISIS authentication settings. The SD-WAN AutoSense implementation may be exploited by malicious actors by allowing unauthorized access to network fabric and configuration data.
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 confidenceIn Extreme Networks Fabric Engine (VOSS) versions prior to 9.3, the SD-WAN AutoSense feature automatically configures fabric connectivity when enabled on a port without validating ISIS authentication settings. This allows malicious actors to gain unauthorized access to the network fabric and exfiltrate configuration data by exploiting the lack of authentication enforcement.

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 VOSS versionUse the command to display the software version installed on the Extreme Networks Fabric Engine device. Common commands include 'show software' or checking the boot prompt.Affected if The installed version is any release prior to 9.3 (for example, 9.2.x, 9.1.x, 8.x)
-
Verify SD-WAN AutoSense statusLocate the SD-WAN AutoSense configuration on the device. This is typically found in the port or interface configuration area. Use the appropriate show command such as 'show sdwan autosense' or 'show interface <port> sdwan' to see if the feature is enabled.Affected if SD-WAN AutoSense is enabled on any port or interface
-
Review fabric-facing interfacesIdentify all interfaces configured as fabric ports or participating in the fabric mesh. Use 'show fabric' or 'show mesh' related commands to list these interfaces.Affected if Any fabric-facing interfaces exist on the device
-
Inspect ISIS authentication configurationOn each fabric-facing interface identified, check the ISIS authentication settings. Use 'show isis interface' or similar command to display the authentication configuration for each interface.Affected if ISIS authentication is not configured, is disabled, or is set to 'none' on any fabric-facing interface
The environment is affected if the device runs VOSS version below 9.3 AND has SD-WAN AutoSense enabled on ports with fabric connectivity where ISIS authentication is missing or disabled.

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.
dbcve · scoped9.3
Upgrade VOSS to version 9.3 or later. Alternatively, disable SD-WAN AutoSense on affected ports until the upgrade can be performed, and ensure ISIS authentication is properly configured on all fabric-facing interfaces.
Fabric Engine v9.3
- Identify all Fabric Engine (VOSS) deployments running versions prior to 9.3 in the environment
- Inventory all ports where SD-WAN AutoSense is enabled using the CLI command 'show sdwan autosense port' or equivalent
- Schedule a maintenance window for the upgrade process
- Upgrade Fabric Engine to version 9.3 or later following the standard Extreme Networks upgrade procedure
- After upgrade, verify that SD-WAN AutoSense now properly validates ISIS authentication settings by checking fabric connectivity configuration
- Confirm that unauthorized fabric access is no longer possible by validating that authentication is enforced on AutoSense-enabled ports
