What happened
Sensitive information disclosure vulnerabilities in an interface of AOS-10 allow unauthenticated remote attackers to obtain sensitive data, which may lead to arbitrary command execution on the underlying operating system.
Are you affected?
You are affected if you run AOS-10 with the affected interface exposed to the network; the sources do not list specific versions or configurations.
AOS-10 (specific versions unknown from the provided material)
What to do
- Check the vendor advisory for the affected AOS-10 versions and the fixed release, then update as soon as possible
- Restrict access to the affected management interface so it is not reachable from the internet
- Monitor the device for unusual activity until patched
