Cisco SD-WAN Software Privilege Escalation Vulnerabilities

Multiple vulnerabilities in the CLI of Cisco SD-WAN Software could allow an authenticated, local attacker to gain elevated privileges.

These vulnerabilities are due to improper access controls on commands within the application CLI. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by running a malicious command on the application CLI. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary commands as the root user.

Cisco has released software updates that address these vulnerabilities. There are no workarounds that address these vulnerabilities.
