DETECTION OVERVIEW
Risk Factors
Cisco HyperFlex HX hypervisors are not often exposed to the internet, but an unauthenticated attacker with network access to a HyperFlex device can leverage attack tools such as Metasploit modules to exploit this vulnerability. An attacker can gain complete control of a hypervisor within a data center and pivot to attack other systems in an organization.

Risk Score
83
Operating System (OS) command injection (also known as shell injection) is a web security vulnerability that enables an attacker to run arbitrary, malicious OS commands on a server running vulnerable software or applications. The web-based management interface of Cisco HyperFlex HX software has a vulnerability in how it validates user input. An attacker sends a specially designed HTTP request with a malicious code injection to the victim, which runs the code with root privileges. After compromising the hypervisor, the attacker can compromise other parts of the hosting infrastructure.
