"According to its self-reported version, Cisco IOS-XE Software is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

  - A vulnerability in the CLI of Cisco IOS XE Software could allow an authenticated, local attacker with
    privilege level 15 to elevate privileges to root on the underlying operating system of an affected device.
    This vulnerability is due to insufficient input validation when processing specific configuration
    commands. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by including crafted input in specific
    configuration commands. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to elevate privileges to root on the
    underlying operating system of an affected device. The security impact rating (SIR) of this advisory has
    been raised to High because an attacker could gain access to the underlying operating system of the
    affected device and perform potentially undetected actions. Note: The attacker must have privileges to
    enter configuration mode on the affected device. This is usually referred to as privilege level 15.
