The vulnerability impacts Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller. May you control the cpe? I see cisco:nexus_dashboard like CVE-2024-20442.
I don't find mentioned cisco data center network manager into the cisco's bulletin

CVE-2024-20449 is maintained by Cisco and they defined "Cisco Data Center Network Manager" as product in it. But we agree that this might be a mistake and changed it to "Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller" to align with the CVE summary and vendor advisory.

Cisco Data Center Network Manager (DCNM) was the old name. We have updated them to Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller (NDFC).
