According to its self-reported version and model number, the remote Cisco ASR device is affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability in StarOS in the Command Line Interface (CLI) due to improper sanitization of commands passed to the Linux shell. A local attacker can exploit this, via specially crafted CLI commands, to execute arbitrary shell commands with root privileges.
