Summary
A vulnerability in a certain REST API endpoint of Cisco Data Center Network Manager (DCNM) Software could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to perform a path traversal attack on an affected device. The vulnerability is due to insufficient path restriction enforcement. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted HTTP requests to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to overwrite or list arbitrary files on the affected device.Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.

La vulnerabilidad se debe a una aplicaci\u00f3n insuficiente de las restricciones de ruta. Un atacante podr\u00eda aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad enviando solicitudes HTTP manipuladas a un dispositivo afectado. Una explotaci\u00f3n exitosa podr\u00eda permitir al atacante sobrescribir o enumerar archivos arbitrarios en el dispositivo afectado. Cisco ha publicado actualizaciones de software que solucionan esta vulnerabilidad. No existen workarounds que solucionen esta vulnerabilidad."
