TITLE

Cisco Data Center Network Manager getList SQL Injection Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

DESCRIPTION

Multiple vulnerabilities in the REST and SOAP API endpoints of Cisco Data Center Network Manager (DCNM) could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary SQL commands on an affected device. To exploit these vulnerabilities, an attacker would need administrative privileges on the DCNM application. For more information about these vulnerabilities, see the Details section of this advisory. Note: The severity of these vulnerabilities is aggravated by the vulnerabilities described in the Cisco Data Center Network Manager Authentication Bypass Vulnerabilities advisory, published simultaneously with this one. Although authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability, the existing authentication mechanism can be bypassed.The specific flaw exists within the processing of requests to the detail endpoint. When parsing the serialNumber parameter in the getSwitchDbIdBySerialNumber method, the process does not properly validate a user-supplied string before using it to construct SQL queries. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of root. The system is available for Cisco Nexus and MDS series switches and provides storage visualization, configuration and troubleshooting functions. The REST API in versions prior to Cisco DCNM 11.3(1) has a SQL injection vulnerability due to insufficient validation of user input submitted to the API. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary SQL commands by sending a specially crafted request
