Multiple vulnerabilities in the web-based management interface of Cisco Data Center Network Manager (DCNM) could allow a remote attacker with network-operator privileges to conduct a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack or a reflected file download (RFD) attack against a user of the interface. For more information about these vulnerabilities, see the Details section of this advisory. Cisco has released software updates that address these vulnerabilities. There are no workarounds that address these vulnerabilities.

At the time of publication, these vulnerabilities affected Cisco DCNM releases earlier than Release 11.5(1).
See the Details section in the bug ID(s) at the top of this advisory for the most complete and current information.
Only products listed in the Vulnerable Products section of this advisory are known to be affected by these vulnerabilities.
The vulnerabilities are not dependent on one another. Exploitation of one of the vulnerabilities is not required to exploit the other vulnerability. In addition, a software release that is affected by one of the vulnerabilities may not be affected by the other vulnerability.
Details about the vulnerabilities are as follows.
CVE-2021-1249: Cisco DCNM Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities
Multiple vulnerabilities in the web-based management interface of Cisco DCNM could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to conduct an XSS attack against a user of the interface.
These vulnerabilities are due to insufficient input validation by the web-based management interface. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by inserting malicious data into a specific data field in the interface. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary script code in the context of the affected interface or access sensitive, browser-based information.
Cisco has released software updates that address these vulnerabilities. There are no workarounds that address these vulnerabilities.

CVE-2021-1286: Cisco DCNM Reflected File Download Vulnerabilities
Multiple vulnerabilities in the web-based management interface of Cisco DCNM could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to conduct an RFD attack against a user of the interface of an affected device.
These vulnerabilities are due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input by the web-based management interface. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by persuading an authenticated user of the interface to click a link that submits malicious input to the interface. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary script code on the affected device.
