CVE-2024-20444

Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller REST API Command Injection Vulnerability

Published Oct 2, 2024 CVSS 3.1 · 5.5 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed

Description

A vulnerability in Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller (NDFC), formerly Cisco Data Center Network Manager (DCNM), could allow an authenticated, remote attacker with network-admin privileges to perform a command injection attack against an affected device.
 
This vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of command arguments. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by submitting crafted command arguments to a specific REST API endpoint. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to overwrite sensitive files or crash a specific container, which would restart on its own, causing a low-impact denial of service (DoS) condition.
