Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-20449 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cisco Data Center Network Manager. 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-2024-20449/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-20449/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-20449","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-20449/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-20449","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xmpq-x22f-7jg3"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated attackers can exploit path traversal via SCP to execute arbitrary code with root privileges on Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller devices.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[{"product":"nexus_dashboard_fabric_controller","vendor":"cisco"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"},{"id":"CWE-23","name":"Relative Path Traversal"}],"description":"A vulnerability in Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller (NDFC) could allow an authenticated, remote attacker with low privileges to execute arbitrary code on an affected device.\r\n\r\nThis vulnerability is due to improper path validation.
