CVE-2021-1487

28
FAUCET Score

CVE-2021-1487 is a critical vulnerability in Cisco Prime Infrastructure and Evolved Programmable Network (EPN) Manager, allowing authenticated, remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands due to insufficient input validation in the web-based management interface. With a CVSS score of 8.8 (High), this flaw enables attackers to gain control of the underlying operating system, potentially compromising sensitive data, altering configurations on managed devices, and causing denial-of-service conditions. While no public exploit intelligence (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB) or active exploitation has been reported, and community discussion is minimal, the high severity warrants immediate patching to mitigate the significant risk.
