ASR-9010 - 5.3.3 - TACACS Authorization loophole

Good day,

 

I hope someone can assist.

I have denied the command: "route-policy" with arguments "default_policy_pass_all" on our Cisco ACS.

 

When someone tries to create/edit this policy they enter "route-policy default_policy_pass_all"

They then type "end-policy" and they receive "Command authorization failed" as expected and the command is not allowed.

 

However, when they create/edit this policy and enter, "route-policy default_policy_pass_all" and hit CTRL + C on the keyboard, they are able to commit thus editing the policy and breaking services.

 

It seems like this is an XR software issue because the ASR never asks the ACS for authorization for entering the command "route-policy default_policy_pass_all"

 

Has anyone seen this before or have a better way of blocking commands?
