Status: ModifiedMedium (4.6)—
The CLI parser in Cisco NX-OS 4.1(2)E1(1), 6.2(11b), 6.2(12), 7.2(0)ZZ(99.1), 7.2(0)ZZ(99.3), and 9.1(1)SV1(3.1.8) on Nexus devices allows local users to execute arbitrary OS commands via crafted characters in a filename, aka Bug IDs CSCuv08491, CSCuv08443, CSCuv08480, CSCuv08448, CSCuu99291, CSCuv08434, and CSCuv08436.
CVSS
- Version: 2.0
- Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
- Base score: 4.6
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.44%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 36
- Score date: 10/7/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
