Cisco FXOS Software (affected versions not specified)
Description
A vulnerability exists due to insufficient input validation of commands supplied by the user, allowing an authenticated, local attacker to inject arbitrary commands that are executed with root privileges. The issue is related to the lack of proper neutralization of special elements used in the operating system command. An attacker could exploit this by authenticating to a device and submitting crafted input to the affected command, potentially allowing the execution of commands on the underlying operating system with root privileges.
Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
