Published Jun 6, 2024 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

Local privilege escalation in A10 Networks Thunder ADC ACOS allows local users with a low-privileged shell to execute code as root.

Low-privileged a10user code execution on an affected appliance is required, after which arbitrary code runs with root privileges.
