CVE-2025-20349

A vulnerability in the REST API of Cisco Catalyst Center could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands in a restricted container as the root user. This vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in REST API request parameters. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted API request to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to inject arbitrary commands that would then be executed in a restricted container with root privileges. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker must have valid credentials for a user account with at least the role of Observer.

Summary		(es) Una vulnerabilidad en la API REST de Cisco Catalyst Center podría permitir a un atacante remoto autenticado ejecutar comandos arbitrarios en un contenedor restringido como el usuario root. Esta vulnerabilidad se debe a una validación insuficiente de la entrada proporcionada por el usuario en los parámetros de solicitud de la API REST. Un atacante podría explotar esta vulnerabilidad enviando una solicitud de API manipulada a un dispositivo afectado. Un exploit exitoso podría permitir al atacante inyectar comandos arbitrarios que luego se ejecutarían en un contenedor restringido con privilegios de root. Para explotar esta vulnerabilidad, el atacante debe tener credenciales válidas para una cuenta de usuario con al menos el rol de Observador.
