Synopsis

According to its self-reported version, Cisco Nexus Dashboard is affected by a vulnerability.- A vulnerability in Cisco Nexus Dashboard could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to conduct a server-side request forgery (SSRF) attack through an affected device. This vulnerability is due to improper input validation for specific HTTP requests. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by persuading an authenticated user of the device management interface to click a crafted link. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to send arbitrary network requests that are sourced from the affected device to an attacker-controlled server.
