"According to its self-reported version, Cisco IOS XR Software is affected by a vulnerability in the access-control
logic of the NETCONF over Secure Shell (SSH) due to a missing check in the NETCONF over SSH access control list (ACL).
An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by by connecting to an affected device using NETCONF over SSH, in
order to connect to the device on the NETCONF port. Valid credentials are required to access the device. This
vulnerability does not affect connections to the default SSH process on the device.
