CVSS v3.1

9.9

Critical

VectorAV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller versions 11.5 and earlier
Description: A vulnerability in the REST API and web UI of Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller could allow an authenticated, low-privileged, remote attacker to perform a command injection attack against an affected device. This vulnerability is due to improper user authorization and insufficient validation of command arguments. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by submitting crafted commands to an affected REST API endpoint or through the web UI. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the CLI of a Cisco NDFC-managed device with network-admin privileges.
Recommendations: For Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller versions 11.5 and earlier, patch the software to the latest version to fix the vulnerability. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the REST API and web UI to minimize the risk of exploitation. Additionally, ensure proper user authorization and command validation to prevent command injection attacks.
