CVE-2022-20775 is a privilege escalation vulnerability in the CLI of Cisco SD-WAN Software. According to Cisco, the flaw is caused by improper access controls on commands within the application CLI. An authenticated local attacker can exploit the issue by executing a maliciously crafted command in the CLI, which can result in arbitrary command execution as the root user. Supporting reporting also associates the vulnerability with the confd_cli_grp binary and describes it as being leveraged in post-compromise chains to escalate from an already privileged context to full root on Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN systems.
