6.5CVE-2022-20913ciscocisco nexus dashboard+1
EPSS score
1.10%
A vulnerability in Cisco Nexus Dashboard could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to write arbitrary files on an affected device. This vulnerability is due to insufficient input validation in the web-based management interface of Cisco Nexus Dashboard. An attacker with Administrator credentials could exploit this vulnerability by uploading a crafted file. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to overwrite arbitrary files on an affected device.
7.4CVE-2022-20860ciscocisco nexus dashboard+1
EPSS score
0.55%
A vulnerability in the SSL/TLS implementation of Cisco Nexus Dashboard could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to alter communications with associated controllers or view sensitive information. This vulnerability exists because SSL server certificates are not validated when Cisco Nexus Dashboard is establishing a connection to Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC), Cisco Cloud APIC, or Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller, formerly Data Center Network Manager (DCNM) controllers. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by using man-in-the-middle techniques to intercept the traffic between the affected device and the controllers, and then using a crafted certificate to impersonate the controllers. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to alter communications between devices or view sensitive information, including Administrator credentials for these controllers.

6CVE-2024-20282ciscocisco nexus dashboard+1
EPSS score
0.17%
A vulnerability in Cisco Nexus Dashboard could allow an authenticated, local attacker with valid rescue-user credentials to elevate privileges to root on an affected device. This vulnerability is due to insufficient protections for a sensitive access token. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by using this token to access resources within the device infrastructure.

6.5CVE-2026-20042ciscocisco nexus dashboard+1
EPSS score
0.29%
A vulnerability in the configuration backup feature of Cisco Nexus Dashboard could allow an attacker who has the encryption password and access to Full or Config-only backup files to access sensitive information. This vulnerability exists because authentication details are included in the encrypted backup files. An attacker with a valid backup file and encryption password from an affected device could decrypt the backup file. The attacker could then use the authentication details in the backup file to access internal-only APIs on the affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system as the root user.
