CVE-2024-20286

Authenticated command execution via Python sandbox escape

Published Aug 28, 2024 · Updated Aug 28, 2024

Sandbox escape in Cisco NX-OS Software allows local users with Python execution privileges to run commands on the underlying operating system. The Python interpreter insufficiently validates user-supplied input passed through unspecified functions, allowing those functions to cross the sandbox boundary. An authenticated account with Python execution privileges is required, and commands run only with the account's existing privileges.
