Authenticated root privilege escalation via crafted request
Published Mar 19, 2020 · Updated Nov 15, 2024
Privilege escalation in Cisco SD-WAN software before 19.2.2 allows remote authenticated users to gain root privileges via a crafted request. Insufficient input validation processes attacker-controlled request data without adequate validation, enabling execution in the underlying operating system. Exploitation requires authenticated local access to an affected SD-WAN component; successful compromise grants root-level control over confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
