Cisco Security Advisory - ConfD CLI Command Injection Vulnerability

[Netwörkheäd]

ConfD CLI Command Injection Vulnerability

A vulnerability in the implementation of the CLI on a device that is running ConfD could allow an authenticated, local attacker to perform a command injection attack.

The vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of a process argument on an affected device. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by injecting commands during the execution of this process. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system with the privilege level of ConfD, which is commonly root.

Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
