Descriptions

A vulnerability in the CLI of Cisco NX-OS Software could allow an authenticated, local attacker with administrator credentials to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying Linux operating system with the privilege level of root. The vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of arguments passed to a specific CLI command on the affected device. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by including malicious input as the argument of an affected command. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying Linux operating system with elevated privileges. An attacker would need valid administrator credentials to exploit this vulnerability.

Una vulnerabilidad en la CLI del programa NX-OS de Cisco podría permitir que un atacante local autenticado con credenciales de administrador realice comandos arbitrarios en el sistema operativo Linux subyacente con el nivel de privilegio de raíz. La vulnerabilidad se debe a una validación insuficiente de los argumentos pasados ??a un comando específico de la CLI en el dispositivo afectado. Un atacante podría aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad para ejecutar una entrada maliciosa como el argumento de un comando afectado. Un aprovechamiento exitoso podría permitir al atacante llevar a cabo comandos arbitrarios en el sistema operativo Linux subyacente con privilegios elevados. Un atacante necesitaría credenciales de administrador válidas para aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad.
