Descriptions

A vulnerability in the role-based access control of Cisco IOS XE SD-WAN Software could allow an authenticated, local attacker with read-only privileges to obtain administrative privileges by using the console port when the device is in the default SD-WAN configuration. This vulnerability occurs because the default configuration is applied for console authentication and authorization. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by connecting to the console port and authenticating as a read-only user. A successful exploit could allow a user with read-only permissions to access administrative privileges.

Una vulnerabilidad en el control de acceso basado en roles del Software Cisco IOS XE SD-WAN, podría permitir a un atacante local autenticado con privilegios de solo lectura obtener privilegios administrativos utilizando el puerto de la consola cuando el dispositivo está en la configuración SD-WAN predeterminada. Esta vulnerabilidad ocurre porque se aplica la configuración predeterminada para la autenticación y autorización de la consola. Un atacante podría explotar esta vulnerabilidad si se conecta al puerto de la consola y se autentica como usuario de solo lectura. Una explotación con éxito podría permitir a un usuario con permisos de solo lectura acceder a privilegios administrativos
