Summary
An OS command injection vulnerability in the management interface allows an authenticated administrator to execute arbitrary OS commands gaining access to the system.
Impact
Authenticated web GUI administrator can execute a command on the local system and then escalate privilege to the root user. However, as by design web GUI administrators are allowed to use ssh keys to gain full console access, this finding has a low impact on our customers.
Affected Products
Guardian, CMC <v20.0.7.4 or <v19.0.12
Workarounds and Mitigations
Use internal firewall feature to limit management interface access and review user roles.
