The version of Cisco Emergency Responder installed on the remote host is 12.5(1)SU4, 12.5(1)SU8a or 14SU3 and missing a security patch. It is, therefore, affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability due to the lack of restrictions on files that are used for upgrades. An attacker with administrator privileges can create a specially crafted update file to elevate their privileges to root.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
