Aruba Networks ClearPass Policy Manager 6.1.x, 6.2.x before 6.2.5.61640 and 6.3.x before 6.3.0.61712, when configured to use tunneled and non-tunneled EAP methods in a single policy construct, allows remote authenticated users to gain privileges by advertising independent inner and outer identities within a tunneled EAP method.
This vulnerability carries a HIGH severity rating with a CVSS v3.1 score of 7.1, indicating it requires adjacent network access but requires specific conditions to be met without requiring user interaction requiring only low-level privileges . The vulnerability impacts confidentiality (data exposure), integrity (unauthorized modifications), and availability (service disruption) for affected systems. Impacting 1 product from arubanetworks organizations running these solutions should prioritize assessment and patching.
First disclosed in 2018, this vulnerability was reported during a period defined by widespread IoT adoption challenges, mobile security concerns, and the emergence of advanced persistent threat (APT) techniques. Contemporary mitigation strategies focused on secure development practices and third-party component vetting.

SecUtils normalizes and enriches National Vulnerability Database (NVD) records by standardizing vendor and product identifiers, aggregating vulnerability metadata from both NVD and MITRE sources, and providing structured context for security teams. For arubanetworks's affected products, we extract Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) data, Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) classifications, CVSS severity metrics, and reference data to enable rapid vulnerability prioritization and asset correlation. This record contains no exploit code, proof-of-concept instructions, or attack methodologies—only defensive intelligence necessary for patch management, risk assessment, and security operations.
