| CVE ID | CVE-2019-15980 |
| CVSS SCORE | 8.8, AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H |
| AFFECTED VENDORS |
Cisco |

| VULNERABILITY DETAILS |
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Cisco Data Center Network Manager. Although authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability, the existing authentication mechanism can be bypassed. The specific flaw exists within the fm/fmrest/dbadmin/runZoneMigrationForBrocade path in the service. When parsing the filename parameter, the process does not properly validate a user-supplied path prior to using it in file operations. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute code in the context of SYSTEM. |
