CVE-2023-6729 — HIGH (7.3) — White Hats Nepal

Vulnerability Description

Nokia SR OS routers allow read-write access to the entire file system via SFTP or SCP for users configured with "access console."

This type of attack can lead to a compromise or denial of service of the router after the system is rebooted.
