A vulnerability in the Command Runner tool of Cisco DNA Center could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to perform a command injection attack. The vulnerability is due to insufficient input validation by the Command Runner tool. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by providing crafted input during command execution or via a crafted command runner API call. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary CLI commands on devices managed by Cisco DNA Center.

Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote

  • Monitor for crafted input during Command Runner tool execution or via the Command Runner API call in Cisco DNA Center, which may indicate a command injection attempt (CWE-78).
  • Audit and alert on unexpected or anomalous CLI commands executed on devices managed by Cisco DNA Center, as successful exploitation results in arbitrary CLI command execution on managed devices.
  • ·Exploitation requires the attacker to be authenticated; however, any authenticated remote user of Cisco DNA Center could leverage the Command Runner tool or API to perform command injection.
  • ·There are no workarounds available; patching via Cisco-released software updates is the only remediation.
