CVE-2017-6794
CWE-20
Summary
A vulnerability in the CLI command-parsing code of Cisco Meeting Server could
allow an authenticated, local attacker to perform command injection and
escalate their privileges to root. The attacker must first authenticate to the
application with valid administrator credentials.
The vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input at
the CLI for certain commands. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by
authenticating to the affected application and submitting a crafted CLI
command for execution at the Cisco Meeting Server CLI. An exploit could allow
the attacker to perform command injection and escalate their privilege level
to root.
There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.

Vulnerable Products
This vulnerability exists in Cisco Meeting Server software versions prior to
and including 2.0, 2.1, and 2.2.
Administrators can check the system configuration from the CLI of Cisco
Meeting Server to determine if a device is affected. An administrator can
determine the software version by using the version command. In this example,
the following command output shows the version of a device running software
