**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Cisco NX-OS Software versions up to 10.2(1q) **Description** A vulnerability in the Python interpreter could allow an authenticated, low-privileged, local attacker to escape the Python sandbox and gain unauthorized access to the underlying operating system of the device. The issue is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input, which can be exploited by manipulating specific functions within the Python interpreter. A successful exploit could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system with the privileges of the authenticated user. Note that an attacker must be authenticated with Python execution privileges to exploit this vulnerability. **Recommendations** For Cisco NX-OS Software versions up to 10.2(1q), upgrade to a fixed version to address the vulnerability. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Python interpreter to minimize the risk of exploitation. Additionally, ensure that only authorized users have Python execution privileges. For more information regarding Python execution privileges, refer to product-specific documentation, such as the Cisco NX-OS Security with Python section of the Cisco Nexus 9000 Series NX-OS Programmability Guide.

**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Cisco NX-OS Software (affected versions not specified) **Description** A vulnerability in the Python interpreter could allow an authenticated, low-privileged, local attacker to escape the Python sandbox and gain unauthorized access to the underlying operating system of the device. The vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by manipulating specific functions within the Python interpreter. A successful exploit could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system with the privileges of the authenticated user. Note that an attacker must be authenticated with Python execution privileges to exploit this vulnerability. **Recommendations** At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.

**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Cisco NX-OS Software (affected versions not specified) **Description** The issue is related to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in the Python interpreter of Cisco NX-OS Software, allowing an authenticated, low-privileged, local attacker to escape the Python sandbox and gain unauthorized access to the underlying operating system of the device. An attacker could exploit this by manipulating specific functions within the Python interpreter, potentially executing arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system with the privileges of the authenticated user. Note that an attacker must be authenticated with Python execution privileges to exploit this issue. **Recommendations** At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.

**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Cisco Nexus Dashboard (affected versions not specified) **Description** The issue is related to insufficient input validation in the management interface of Cisco Nexus Dashboard, which could allow a remote attacker to overwrite arbitrary files on an affected device. The attacker would need to have Administrator credentials to exploit this issue by uploading a crafted file. **Recommendations** For all affected versions, ensure that only authorized personnel have Administrator credentials to minimize the risk of exploitation. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting file upload capabilities in the management interface until a patch is available.
