Descriptions

A vulnerability in the web interface of Cisco Data Center Network Manager could allow an authenticated application administrator to execute commands on the underlying operating system with root-level privileges. The vulnerability is due to incomplete input validation of user input within an HTTP request. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by authenticating to the application and then sending a crafted HTTP request to the targeted application. A successful exploit could allow the authenticated attacker to issue commands on the underlying operating system as the root user.

Una vulnerabilidad en la interfaz web de Cisco Data Center Network Manager podría permitir que un administrador de la aplicación autenticado ejecute comandos en el sistema operativo subyacente con privilegios a nivel de root. Esta vulnerabilidad se debe a la incompleta validación de entradas del usuario en una petición HTTP. Un atacante podría explotar esta vulnerabilidad autenticándose en la aplicación y enviando una petición HTTP manipulada a la aplicación objetivo. Una explotación con éxito podría permitir que el atacante autenticado envíe comandos al sistema operativo subyacente como usuario root.
