# Aruba AOS-8 web management interface lets adjacent attacker bypass authentication

A flaw in the web-based management interface of Aruba AOS-8 lets an unauthenticated attacker on an adjacent network bypass authentication controls. The attacker can read some sensitive data in cleartext, which may expose other network infrastructure to further compromise.
