Cisco Data Center Network Manager Privilege Escalation to Underlying Operating System Vulnerability
Description
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.
