CVE-2019-1612 describes a command injection vulnerability in the CLI of Cisco NX-OS Software, affecting various Nexus 3000, 3500, 3600, and 9000 Series Switches running specific older software versions. This flaw, rated Medium severity (CVSS 6.7), allows an authenticated, local attacker with administrator credentials to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system with elevated privileges due to insufficient validation of CLI command arguments. While the potential impact is high for confidentiality, integrity, and availability, there is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
