Array Networks AG and vxAG ArrayOS Missing Authentication for Critical Function Vulnerability
Array Networks AG and vxAG ArrayOS contain a missing authentication for critical function vulnerability that allows an attacker to read local files and execute code on the SSL VPN gateway.
A remote attacker, without authentication, can achieve full data confidentiality loss, arbitrary modification of data, complete denial of service or system unavailability. CISA has confirmed use of this vulnerability in known ransomware campaigns — treat as high priority for remediation. Federal agencies are required to remediate by 2024-12-16 under CISA BOD 22-01.
This is a Improper Authentication (CWE-287) vulnerability in Array Networks AG/vxAG ArrayOS. Array Networks Array AG Series and vxAG (9.4.0.481 and earlier) allow remote code execution. An attacker can browse the filesystem on the SSL VPN gateway using a flags attribute in an HTTP header without authentication. The product could then be exploited through a vulnerable URL. The 2023-03-09 vendor advisory stated "a new Array AG release with the fix will be available soon." Exploitation requires remote network access, low attack complexity, no authentication required, and no user interaction required.
