According to its self-reported version, Cisco NX-OS Software is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

  - A vulnerability in the Python interpreter of Cisco NX-OS Software could allow an authenticated, low-     privileged, local attacker to escape the Python sandbox and gain unauthorized access to the underlying     operating system of the device. The vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied     input. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by manipulating specific functions within the Python     interpreter. A successful exploit could allow an attacker to escape the Python sandbox and execute     arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system with the privileges of the authenticated user.
    Note: An attacker must be authenticated with Python execution privileges to exploit these vulnerabilities.
    For more information regarding Python execution privileges, see product-specific documentation, such as     the section of the Cisco Nexus 9000 Series NX-OS Programmability Guide. (CVE-2024-20284, CVE-2024-20285,     CVE-2024-20286)
