Cisco Prime Network Analysis Module Authenticated Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

A vulnerability in the web interface of Cisco Prime Network Analysis Module (NAM) and Cisco Prime Virtual Network Analysis Module (vNAM) could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands or code on the host operating system with the privileges of the web server.

The vulnerability is due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied input before the input is used in subsequent operations. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by submitting a crafted HTTP request to an affected system. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary commands or code on the host operating system with the reduced privileges of the web server.

Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
