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.

A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code in a specific container with the privileges of root.
