If the user has administrative privileges, the attacker could alter the configuration, execute commands, or reload an affected device.Please see the included Cisco BIDs and Cisco Security Advisory for more information.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
