Command Injection Vulnerability in Cisco Firepower Threat Defense Software

CVE-2022-20934

Summary

A flaw in the command-line interface (CLI) of Cisco Firepower Threat Defense Software and Cisco FXOS Software enables authenticated local attackers to execute arbitrary commands at the operating system level. This vulnerability arises from inadequate input validation for certain CLI commands, potentially allowing attackers to introduce operating system commands into legitimate commands. A successful exploit requires valid Administrator credentials, permitting attackers to bypass the restricted command prompt and launch arbitrary commands on the underlying system.
