CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedAffected EOS platforms with AAA-based gRPC authorization enabled for OpenConfig are vulnerable to privilege escalation, where authenticated users may execute gRPC requests with incorrect privilege levels due to an improper authorization method. This flaw could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive configurations, potentially compromising system integrity. Organizations utilizing these platforms should prioritize remediation to mitigate the risk of exploitation.
Original NVD Description
On affected EOS platforms with AAA-based gRPC authorization enabled for OpenConfig, gRPC requests of an authenticated user to OpenConfig may use the wrong privilege level, resulting in an authorization using the wrong AAA method list. This does not impact non-gRPC OpenConfig requests such as NETCONF.
