CVE-2024-20449
Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller (NDFC) Critical Path Traversal Remote Code Execution
Description
A vulnerability in Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller (NDFC) could allow an authenticated, remote attacker with low privileges to execute arbitrary code on an affected device. This vulnerability is due to improper path validation. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by using the Secure Copy Protocol (SCP) to upload malicious code to an affected device using path traversal techniques. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code in a specific container with the privileges of root.
