These vulnerabilities are due to improper access controls on commands within the application CLI. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by running a malicious command on the application CLI. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary commands as the root user.\n\n## Affected\n\n- `sd-wan_vbond_orchestrator < 20.9`\n- `sd-wan_vmanage < 20.9`\n- `sd-wan_vsmart_controller < 20.9`\n- `sd-wan < 20.9`\n\n## Remediation\n\nUpgrade past the affected range:\n\n- `sd-wan_vbond_orchestrator 20.9`\n- `sd-wan_vmanage 20.9`\n- `sd-wan_vsmart_controller 20.9`\n- `sd-wan 20.9`","depth":"midnight","depthScore":55,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":42.9,"likelihood":0.1,"exploitation":12,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
