A session management vulnerability in AOS-8 allows previously authenticated users to retain network access after their accounts are administratively disabled.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
