HighCVSS 8.8Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk48th percentile - higher than 48% of all known CVEs
Summary
An authenticated path traversal vulnerability in the command line interface of ClearPass Policy Manager allows a low-privileged authenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges on the underlying OS.
Risk Assessment
Risk of privilege escalation and full OS control by a low-privileged attacker, potentially leading to infrastructure-wide security breaches.
Recommendation
Restrict CLI access and apply vendor patches.
