An improper privilege management vulnerability (CWE-269) exists in the command shell of Wind River VxWorks 7 all versions up to 26.09. when configured to enforce per-user command privileges. Under certain shell operations, a command may be evaluated without the privilege check that is normally applied, allowing an authenticated user with limited privileges to execute commands they are not authorized to run.
