Descriptions

A vulnerability in the web UI feature of Cisco IOS XE Software could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to perform an injection attack against an affected device. This vulnerability is due to insufficient input validation. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted input to the web UI API. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to inject commands to the underlying operating system with root privileges.

Una vulnerabilidad en la funcionalidad de la Interfaz de Usuario web del software Cisco IOS XE podría permitir a un atacante remoto autenticado llevar a cabo un ataque de inyección contra un dispositivo afectado. Esta vulnerabilidad es debido a que no ha sido comprobada suficientemente la entrada de datos. Un atacante podría aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad mediante el envío de entradas diseñadas a la API de la interfaz web. Una explotación con éxito podría permitir al atacante inyectar comandos al sistema operativo subyacente con privilegios root
