CVE-2018-0088
A vulnerability in one of the diagnostic test CLI commands on Cisco Industrial Ethernet 4010 Series Switches running Cisco IOS Software could allow an authenticated, local attacker to impact the stability of the device. This could result in arbitrary code execution or a denial of service (DoS) condition. The attacker has to have valid user credentials at privilege level 15. The vulnerability is due to a diagnostic test CLI command that allows the attacker to write to the device memory.
Read full descriptionShow less
An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by authenticating to the targeted device and issuing a specific diagnostic test command at the CLI. An exploit could allow the attacker to overwrite system memory locations, which could have a negative impact on the stability of the device. Cisco Bug IDs: CSCvf71150.
CVSS
- Version: 3.0
- Vector: CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Base score: 6.7
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.39%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 31
- Score date: 10/9/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).

Esto podría resultar en una ejecución de código arbitrario o una condición de denegación de servicio (DoS). El atacante necesita tener credenciales de usuario válidas a nivel 15 de privilegios. La vulnerabilidad se debe a un comando CLI de prueba de diagnóstico que permite que el atacante escriba en la memoria del dispositivo. Un atacante podría explotar esta vulnerabilidad autenticándose en el dispositivo objetivo y enviando un comando de prueba de diagnóstico específico a la interfaz de línea de comandos. Su explotación podría permitir que el atacante sobrescriba las ubicaciones de memoria del sistema, lo que podría causar un impacto negativo en la estabilidad del dispositivo.
