The attacker must authenticate with valid user credentials. The vulnerability is due to the incorrect implementation of a Bash shell command that allows role-based access control (RBAC) to be bypassed. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by authenticating to the device and entering a crafted command at the Bash prompt. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to escalate their privilege level by executing commands that should be restricted to other roles. For example, a dev-ops user could escalate their privilege level to admin with a successful exploit of this vulnerability. Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability. This advisory is available at the following link: https://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/ cisco-sa-20190306-nx-os-bash-escal This advisory is part of the March 2019 Cisco FXOS and NX-OS Software Security Advisory Bundled Publication, which includes 25 Cisco Security Advisories that describe 26 vulnerabilities. For a complete list of the advisories and links to them, see Cisco Event Response: March 2019 Cisco FXOS and NX-OS Software Security Advisory Bundled Publication . Affected Products o Vulnerable Products This vulnerability affects the following Cisco products if they are running a vulnerable release of Cisco NX-OS Software: Nexus 3000 Series Switches Nexus 3500 Platform Switches Nexus 3600 Platform Switches Nexus 7000 Series Switches Nexus 7700 Series Switches Nexus 9000 Series Fabric Switches in Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) mode Nexus 9000 Series Switches in standalone NX-OS mode Nexus 9500 R-Series Line Cards and Fabric Modules For information about which Cisco NX-OS Software releases are vulnerable, see the Fixed Software section of this advisory. Determining the Cisco NX-OS Software Release Administrators can check the release of Cisco NX-OS Software that is running on a device by using the show version command in the device CLI. The following example shows the output of this command on a device that is running Cisco NX-OS Software Release 7.0(3)I5(1) : nxos-switch# show version Cisco Nexus Operating System (NX-OS) Software TAC support: http://www.cisco.com/tac Copyright (C) 2002-2016, Cisco and/or its affiliates.

Software BIOS: version 07.57 NXOS: version 7.0(3)I5(1) [build 7.0(3)I5(0.9)] BIOS compile time: 06/29/2016 NXOS image file is: bootflash:///nxos.7.0.3.I5.0.9.bin NXOS compile time: 8/1/2016 23:00:00 [08/02/2016 00:30:32] . . . Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable Only products listed in the Vulnerable Products section of this advisory are known to be affected by this vulnerability. Cisco has confirmed that this vulnerability does not affect the following Cisco products: Firepower 2100 Series Firewalls Firepower 4100 Series Next-Generation Firewalls Firepower 9300 Security Appliance MDS 9000 Series Multilayer Switches Nexus 1000V Switch for Microsoft Hyper-V Nexus 1000V Switch for VMware vSphere Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extenders Nexus 5500 Platform Switches Nexus 5600 Platform Switches Nexus 6000 Series Switches UCS 6200 Series Fabric Interconnects UCS 6300 Series Fabric Interconnects UCS 6400 Series Fabric Interconnects Details o In addition to the NX-OS CLI, Cisco NX-OS Software can support access to the Bash shell, which interprets commands that a user enters or that are read from a shell script. Bash enables access to and is used to manage the underlying Linux system on the device. In Cisco NX-OS Software, the Bash shell is accessible from user accounts that are associated with the Cisco NX-OS dev-ops role or the Cisco NX-OS network-admin role. For additional information, customers can refer to the Bash chapter of the Cisco NX-OS Programmability Guide . Indicators of Compromise o Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could result in a user without authorization making NX-OS device configuration changes. As part of best practices, administrators can use the show accounting log command and monitor for unexpected configuration modifications. A configuration change would be done within the Bash shell, and a typical logging entry would follow this format: type=update:id=console0:user=root:cmd=configure terminal ; feature nxapi (SUCCESS) Workarounds o There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability. Fixed Software o Cisco has released free software updates that address the vulnerability described in this advisory. Customers may only install and expect support for software versions and feature sets for which they have purchased a license. By installing, downloading, accessing, or otherwise using such software upgrades, customers agree to follow the terms of the Cisco software license: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/ end-user-license-agreement.html Additionally, customers may only download software for which they have a valid license, procured from Cisco directly, or through a Cisco authorized reseller or partner. In most cases this will be a maintenance upgrade to software that was previously purchased. Free security software updates do not entitle customers to a new software license, additional software feature sets, or major revision upgrades. When considering software upgrades, customers are advised to regularly consult the advisories for Cisco products, which are available from the Cisco Security Advisories and Alerts page , to determine exposure and a complete upgrade solution. In all cases, customers should ensure that the devices to be upgraded contain sufficient memory and confirm that current hardware and software configurations will continue to be supported properly by the new release. If the information is not clear, customers are advised to contact the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) or their contracted maintenance providers. Customers Without Service Contracts Customers who purchase directly from Cisco but do not hold a Cisco service contract and customers who make purchases through third-party vendors but are unsuccessful in obtaining fixed software through their point of sale should obtain upgrades by contacting the Cisco TAC: https://www.cisco.com/c /en/us/support/web/tsd-cisco-worldwide-contacts.html Customers should have the product serial number available and be prepared to provide the URL of this advisory as evidence of entitlement to a free upgrade. Fixed Releases Customers are advised to upgrade to an appropriate release as indicated in the applicable table in this section. To help ensure a complete upgrade solution, customers should consider that this advisory is part of a bundled publication. The following page provides a complete list of bundle advisories: Cisco Event Response: March 2019 Cisco FXOS and NX-OS Software Security Advisory Bundled Publication . In the following tables, the left column lists releases of Cisco FXOS Software or Cisco NX-OS Software. The center column indicates whether a release is affected by the vulnerability described in this advisory and the first release that includes the fix for this vulnerability. The right column indicates whether a release is affected by all the vulnerabilities described in this bundle and which release includes fixes for those vulnerabilities. Although the releases listed in the right column of each table include fixes for the vulnerabilities, the fix related to the Cisco NX-OS Software Image Signature Verification Vulnerability requires a BIOS upgrade as part of the software upgrade.
