NetBrain's CLI Command Data Retrieval Rules currently permit or restrict commands based on keyword matching, such as checking for the presence of an included term like 'display.' This approach does not account for device-specific syntax, such as pipe operators, that can be appended to a permitted keyword to execute an otherwise restricted or higher-privilege command. This enhancement would strengthen the command matching engine to validate the full command string against configured rules rather than relying on keyword presence alone, preventing restricted commands from being executed through chaining or piping techniques. Ensuring accurate enforcement of CLI command restrictions would help customers maintain intended security boundaries and reduce the risk of unauthorized command execution in restricted access environments.
