Under certain versions of the Cisco Catalyst a user who already has access to the device can elevate their current access to 'enable' mode without a password. Once 'enable' mode is obtained the user can access the configuration mode and commit unauthorized configuration changes on a Catalyst switch. This can be done either from the console itself or via a remote Telnet session.
