CVE-2017-6792
A vulnerability in the batch provisioning feature in Cisco Prime Collaboration Provisioning Tool could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to overwrite system files as root.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.92%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
