"A vulnerability in the Secure Configuration Validation functionality
of Cisco FXOS Software and Cisco NX-OS Software could allow an
authenticated, local attacker to run arbitrary commands at system boot
time with the privileges of root. The vulnerability is due to a lack
of proper validation of system files when the persistent configuration
information is read from the file system. An attacker could exploit
this vulnerability by authenticating to the device and overwriting the
persistent configuration storage with malicious executable files. An
exploit could allow the attacker to run arbitrary commands at system
startup and those commands will run as the root user. The attacker
must have valid administrative credentials for the device.

This plugin only works with Tenable.ot.
