Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Cisco Data Center Network Manager 12.1.2e/12.1.2p/12.1.3b. It has been rated as critical. This issue affects an unknown code block of the component Web-based Management Interface/REST API Endpoint. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a sql injection vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-89. The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

A vulnerability in a REST API endpoint and web-based management interface of Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller (NDFC) could allow an authenticated, remote attacker with read-only privileges to execute arbitrary SQL commands on an affected device. This vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted request to a specific REST API endpoint or web-based management interface. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to read, modify, or delete arbitrary data on an internal database, which could affect the availability of the device. 

The advisory is shared at sec.cloudapps.cisco.com. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2024-20536 since 11/08/2023. The exploitation is known to be easy.

Good morning. I don't find this cpe into NVD NIST cpe dictionary. I see cisco:nexus_dashboard. Can you verify?

CVE-2024-20536 mentions "Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller" (summary) + "Data Center Network Manager" (products). CPE "Network Dashboard Fabric Controller" instead of "Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller". Might be network_dashboard_fabric_controller
