VAR-201704-0488
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-20 23:37A vulnerability in login authentication management in Cisco Aironet 1800, 2800, and 3800 Series Access Point platforms could allow an authenticated, local attacker to gain unrestricted root access to the underlying Linux operating system. The root Linux shell is provided for advanced troubleshooting and should not be available to individual users, even those with root privileges. The attacker must have the root password to exploit this vulnerability. More Information: CSCvb13893. Known Affected Releases: 8.2(121.0) 8.3(102.0). Known Fixed Releases: 8.4(1.53) 8.4(1.52) 8.3(111.0) 8.3(104.23) 8.2(130.0) 8.2(124.1). Cisco Aironet 1800 , 2800 ,and 3800 Series platform contains vulnerabilities related to authorization, permissions, and access control. Vendors have confirmed this vulnerability Bug ID CSCvb13893 It is released as.Information is obtained, information is altered, and service operation is disrupted (DoS) An attack may be carried out. Cisco Aironet AccessPoints is a set of wireless access point devices from Cisco. A local privilege elevation vulnerability exists in the Cisco Aironet AccessPoints platform. This issue is being tracked by Cisco Bug ID CSCvb13893. The vulnerability is caused by the program not properly managing user credentials

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.
Experimental. This forecast is provided for visualization only and may change without notice. Do not use it for operational decisions.
Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
