CVE-2026-44873: Insufficient Session Invalidation on User Account Deactivation in AOS-8 Operating System

Published May 12, 2026
·
Updated

A session management vulnerability in AOS-8 allows previously authenticated users to retain network access after their accounts are administratively disabled. Existing sessions are not invalidated when credentials are revoked, enabling continued access until session expiration. An attacker with compromised credentials could exploit this behavior to maintain unauthorized access even after the account has been disabled.
