CVE-2026-73765
HIGH 7.2Authenticated path traversal vulnerabilities exist in API endpoints of AOS-CX. Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities allows an attacker to write arbitrary files to the underlying operating system, which could lead to remote code execution.
Severe if exploited (CVSS 7.2), but no known exploitation and low modeled probability. Patch on a normal cadence.
