An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted API request to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to inject arbitrary commands that would then be executed in a restricted container with root privileges. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker must have valid credentials for a user account with at least the role of Observer.\n\n## Affected\n\n- `catalyst_center < 2.3.7.10`\n\n## Remediation\n\nUpgrade past the affected range:\n\n- `catalyst_center 2.3.7.10`","depth":"sunlit","depthScore":35,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":34.7,"likelihood":0.1,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
