New! Vulnerability Priority Rating (VPR)
Tenable calculates a dynamic VPR for every vulnerability. VPR combines vulnerability information with threat intelligence and machine learning algorithms to predict which vulnerabilities are most likely to be exploited in attacks. Read more about what VPR is and how it's different from CVSS.
VPR Score: 5.9
Synopsis
The remote device is missing a vendor-supplied security patch
Description
According to its self-reported version, Cisco Data Center Network Manager is prior to version 11.0(1) and is, therefore, affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability in the web-based management interface due to incomplete validation of user input. An authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted HTTP request to the target application in order to issue commands on the underlying operating system as the root user.
Please see the included Cisco BID and Cisco Security Advisory for more information.
