Description

An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit a hidden function in the CLI prompt to escape the restricted interface, leading to full compromise of the device.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI

prevent

Specifies and authorizes actions performable without identification or authentication, directly preventing hidden unauthenticated CLI functions that enable escape from restricted interfaces.

prevent

Restricts the system to least functionality by prohibiting or disabling non-essential hidden features like the exploitable CLI prompt function.

prevent

Enforces approved access authorizations and policies to block escape from restricted CLI interfaces via hidden functions.

Security SummaryAI

CVE-2026-3587 is a critical vulnerability (CVSS 3.1 score of 10.0; AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H) classified under CWE-912 (Hidden Functionality). Published on 2026-03-23, it involves a hidden function within the CLI prompt of an affected device that allows escape from the restricted interface. This flaw enables unauthenticated remote attackers to achieve full compromise of the device.

An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability over the network with low complexity and no user interaction required. Successful exploitation grants high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts, along with a change in scope, culminating in complete device takeover.

CWE(s)

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1210 Exploitation of Remote Services Lateral Movement
Adversaries may exploit remote services to gain unauthorized access to internal systems once inside of a network.
T1059.008 Network Device CLI Execution
Adversaries may abuse scripting or built-in command line interpreters (CLI) on network devices to execute malicious command and payloads.
Why these techniques?

Unauthenticated remote exploitation of a hidden CLI function enables full device compromise via exploitation of a remote service (T1210) and facilitates unrestricted network device CLI command execution (T1059.008).
