CVE-2002-1558
Cisco ONS15454 and ONS15327 running ONS before 3.4 have an account for the VxWorks Operating System in the TCC, TCC+ and XTC that cannot be changed or disabled, which allows remote attackers to gain privileges by connecting to the account via Telnet.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.79%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
