CVE-2018-0352 describes a privilege escalation vulnerability in the Disk Check Tool (disk-check.sh) of Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS) Software. An authenticated, local attacker with super user (level 15) privileges could exploit insufficient script validation to replace a legitimate script with a malicious one, gaining root access and full control of the device. Rated Medium severity (CVSS 6.7), this attack requires high privileges and local access, but has a high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While no public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB) is available and it's not listed in KEV, it has garnered some community discussion and media coverage, including a BleepingComputer article.
