CVE number = CVE-2024-20536
A vulnerability in a REST API endpoint and web-based management interface of Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller (NDFC) could allow an authenticated, remote attacker with read-only privileges to execute arbitrary SQL commands on an affected device.
This vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted request to a specific REST API endpoint or web-based management interface. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to read, modify, or delete arbitrary data on an internal database, which could affect the availability of the device.
Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
This vulnerability affects only Cisco NDFC releases 12.1.2 and 12.1.3.
