In short

Cisco Data Center Network Manager has a flaw that lets hackers bypass login requirements and take full control of the system remotely without needing valid credentials. This is critical because attackers can perform any administrative action they want.

Technical detail

Multiple authentication bypass vulnerabilities in Cisco DCNM (CWE-798: hardcoded credentials or weak authentication) allow unauthenticated remote attackers to gain administrative privileges. The attack vector is network-based with no user interaction required; successful exploitation results in complete system compromise with administrative access.

Summary generated and translated by AI from the official description.
Multiple vulnerabilities in the authentication mechanisms of Cisco Data Center Network Manager (DCNM) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary actions with administrative privileges on an affected device. For more information about these vulnerabilities, see the Details section of this advisory.
