CVE-2020-3173
A vulnerability in the local management (local-mgmt) CLI of Cisco UCS Manager Software could allow an authenticated, local attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system (OS) on an affected device. The vulnerability is due to insufficient input validation of command arguments. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by including crafted arguments to specific commands on the local management CLI. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying OS with the privileges of the currently logged-in user for all affected platforms excluding Cisco UCS 6400 Series Fabric Interconnects. On Cisco UCS 6400 Series Fabric Interconnects, the injected commands are executed with root privileges.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Puntuación base: 7.8

"value": "Una vulnerabilidad en la CLI de administración local (local-mgmt) de Cisco UCS Manager Software, podría permitir a un atacante local autenticado ejecutar comandos arbitrarios en el sistema operativo (SO) subyacente sobre un dispositivo afectado. La vulnerabilidad es debido a una comprobación de entrada insuficiente de los argumentos del comando. Un atacante podría explotar esta vulnerabilidad al incluir argumentos diseñados en comandos específicos sobre la CLI de administración local. Una explotación con éxito podría permitir a un atacante ejecutar comandos arbitrarios en el sistema operativo subyacente con los privilegios del usuario actualmente conectado para todas las plataformas afectadas, excluyendo Cisco UCS 6400 Series Fabric Interconnects. En Cisco UCS 6400 Series Fabric Interconnects, los comandos inyectados se ejecutan con privilegios root."
