What is CVE-2018-0226?

The vulnerability arises from the incorrect management of SSH user accounts for Cisco Aironet 1800, 2800, and 3800 Series Access Points running Cisco Mobility Express Software. An authenticated attacker can exploit this weakness to gain elevated privileges. Specifically, if an administrator adds user accounts improperly, the default SSH user account configuration allows attackers with valid credentials to authenticate to the access point using a privilege escalation method. This could lead to unauthorized administrative access and possible control over the network device.
