Descriptions

A vulnerability in Cisco Smart Software Manager On-Prem (SSM On-Prem) could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to elevate privileges and execute commands with higher privileges. The vulnerability is due to insufficient authorization of the System Operator role capabilities. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by logging in with the System Operator role, performing a series of actions, and then assuming a new higher privileged role. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to perform all actions associated with the privilege of the assumed role. If that role is an administrative role, the attacker would gain full access to the device.

Una vulnerabilidad en Cisco Smart Software Manager On-Prem (SSM On-Prem) podría permitir a un atacante autenticado remoto elevar privilegios y ejecutar comandos con privilegios mayores. La vulnerabilidad es debido a una autorización insuficiente de las capacidades del rol System Operator. Un atacante podría explotar esta vulnerabilidad iniciando sesión con el rol de System Operator, llevando a cabo una serie de acciones y luego asumiendo un nuevo rol más privilegiado. Una explotación con éxito podría permitir a un atacante realizar todas las acciones asociadas con el privilegio del rol asumido. Si ese rol es un rol administrativo, el atacante obtendría acceso completo al dispositivo
