CVE-2019-12694
A vulnerability in the command line interface (CLI) of Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an authenticated, local attacker with administrative privileges to execute commands on the underlying operating system with root privileges.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.79%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
