A vulnerability in the Python scripting subsystem of Cisco NX-OS Software could allow an authenticated, local attacker to escape the Python parser and issue arbitrary commands to elevate the attacker’s privilege level. The vulnerability is due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied parameters that are passed to certain Python functions in the scripting sandbox of the affected device.
An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to escape the scripting sandbox and execute arbitrary commands to elevate the attacker’s privilege level.
