"value": "Una vulnerabilidad de gestión de sesiones en AOS-8 permite a usuarios previamente autenticados retener el acceso a la red después de que sus cuentas sean deshabilitadas administrativamente. Las sesiones existentes no se invalidan cuando las credenciales son revocadas, lo que permite el acceso continuado hasta la expiración de la sesión. Un atacante con credenciales comprometidas podría explotar este comportamiento para mantener el acceso no autorizado incluso después de que la cuenta haya sido deshabilitada."
