Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller Plug and Play Arbitrary File Read Vulnerability

A vulnerability in the Out-of-Band (OOB) Plug and Play (PnP) feature of Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller (NDFC) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to read arbitrary files.

This vulnerability is due to an unauthenticated provisioning web server. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability through direct web requests to the provisioning server. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to read sensitive files in the PnP container that could facilitate further attacks on the PnP infrastructure.

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