"According to its self-reported version, Cisco NX-OS Software is affected by a vulnerability.

  - A vulnerability in the software upgrade process of Cisco Nexus 3000 Series Switches and Cisco Nexus 9000
    Series Switches in standalone NX-OS mode could allow an authenticated, local attacker with valid
    Administrator credentials to execute a command injection attack on the underlying operating system of an
    affected device. This vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of specific elements within a
    software image. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by installing a crafted image. A successful
    exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system with
    root privileges. Note: Administrators should validate the hash of any software image before
    installation. (CVE-2025-20161)
