A vulnerability in the local file editor of the Cisco Unified Computing
System fabric interconnect could allow an authenticated, local attacker
to access arbitrary files on the userland filesystem with root privileges.
The
vulnerability is due to improper input filtering . An attacker could
exploit this vulnerability by using specific key bindings in the editor.
A successful exploit could allow the attacker to read and modify
arbitrary files with root privileges.
Cisco has confirmed the vulnerability in a security notice and released software updates.
To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would need to authenticate and have local access to the targeted device, which may reside on trusted, internal networks. These access requirements limit the likelihood of a successful exploit.
Cisco indicates through the CVSS score that functional exploit code exists; however, the code is not known to be publicly available
