An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-1361 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cisco Nx-Os. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-1361/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-1361/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-1361","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-1361/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-1361","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-9cw6-xmv9-q69p"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Cisco NX-OS Switch","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated remote attackers can create, delete, or overwrite arbitrary files with root privileges on Cisco Nexus switches via TCP port 9075.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[{"product":"nx-os","vendor":"cisco"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-552","name":"Files or Directories Accessible to External Parties"}],"description":"A vulnerability in the implementation of an internal file management service for Cisco Nexus 3000 Series Switches and Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches in standalone NX-OS mode that are running Cisco NX-OS Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to create, delete, or overwrite arbitrary files with root privileges on the device. This vulnerability exists because TCP port 9075 is incorrectly configured to listen and respond to external connection requests. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted TCP packets to an IP address that is configured on a local interface on TCP port 9075. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to create, delete, or overwrite arbitrary files, including sensitive files that are related to the device configuration. For example, the attacker could add a user account without the device administrator knowing.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Cisco NX-OS Software Unauthenticated Arbitrary File Actions Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-1361","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"cisco:nx-os","products":["cisco:nx-os"],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Cisco Unified Communications Products Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-1362"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Command injection in Cisco Small Business RV Series Router Firmware","id":"CVE-2021-1360"},"products":["Cisco NX-OS Software"],"published":"2021-02-24","related":[{"cvss_score":6,"headline":"Cisco NX-OS Command Injection","id":"CVE-2024-20399","kev_date_added":"2024-07-02","published":"2024-07-01"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in Cisco NX-OS unknown","id":"CVE-2018-0301","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-06-20"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-1453","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-10-06"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-1341","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-02-24"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cisco NX-OS Software NX-API Command Injection Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-20650","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-02-23"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cisco NX-OS Software Data Management Engine Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2020-3415","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-08-27"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-11-08","vendors":["Cisco"]},"summary":"Unauthenticated remote attackers can create, delete, or overwrite arbitrary files with root privileges on Cisco Nexus switches via TCP port 9075.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-1361/"}
