Descriptions

Multiple vulnerabilities in the REST and SOAP API endpoints of Cisco Data Center Network Manager (DCNM) could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary SQL commands on an affected device. To exploit these vulnerabilities, an attacker would need administrative privileges on the DCNM application. For more information about these vulnerabilities, see the Details section of this advisory. Note: The severity of these vulnerabilities is aggravated by the vulnerabilities described in the Cisco Data Center Network Manager Authentication Bypass Vulnerabilities advisory, published simultaneously with this one.

Múltiples vulnerabilidades en los endpoints REST y SOAP API de Cisco Data Center Network Manager (DCNM), podrían permitir a un atacante remoto autenticado ejecutar comandos SQL arbitrarios sobre un dispositivo afectado. Para explotar estas vulnerabilidades, un atacante requeriría de privilegios administrativos en la aplicación DCNM. Para más información sobre estas vulnerabilidades, véase la sección Detalles de este aviso. Nota: La gravedad de estas vulnerabilidades está agravada por las vulnerabilidades descritas en el aviso de Vulnerabilidades de Omisión de Autenticación de Cisco Data Center Network Manager, que se publicaron simultáneamente con este.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Cisco Data Center Network Manager. Although authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability, the existing authentication mechanism can be bypassed.
The specific flaw exists within the processing of requests to the DbInventoryWSService/DbInventoryWS service. When parsing the first parameter of the getEndPortConnectionsForStorageSystem endpoint, the process does not properly validate a user-supplied string before using it to construct SQL queries. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of SYSTEM.
