{"id":"CVE-2019-1883","aliases":["EUVD-2019-10440","GHSA-2fxw-qpjx-9wpm"],"status":"published","title":"Cisco Integrated Management Controller CLI Command Injection Vulnerability","description":"A vulnerability in the command-line interface of Cisco Integrated Management Controller (IMC) could allow an authenticated, local attacker with read-only credentials to inject arbitrary commands that could allow them to obtain root privileges. The vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input on the command-line interface. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by authenticating with read-only privileges via the CLI of an affected device and submitting crafted input to the affected commands. A successful exploit could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the device with root privileges.","severity":{"version":"3.0","score":7,"vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","level":"high","assessor":"cna","from":"cve"},"epss":{"day":"2026-11-08","score":0.00411,"percentile":0.35614,"model":"v2026.06.15"},"facts":{"in_kev":false,"known_exploited":false,"public_exploit":false,"fix_available":false},"cwes":["CWE-78"],"published":"2019-08-21T18:20:38Z","modified":"2026-06-17T02:29:31Z","products":[{"vendor":"cisco","product":"cisco unified computing system e-series software (ucse)"},{"vendor":"cisco","product":"integrated_management_controller_supervisor"},{"vendor":"cisco","product":"unified_computing_system"}],"references":[{"url":"https://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-20190821-cimc-cli-inject","tags":["vendor-advisory","x_refsource_CISCO","x_transferred","Vendor Advisory"]},{"url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2019-1883"},{"url":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-2fxw-qpjx-9wpm"}],"sources":{"cve":[{"id":"CVE-2019-1883","title":"Cisco Integrated Management Controller CLI Command Injection Vulnerability","description":"A vulnerability in the command-line interface of Cisco Integrated Management Controller (IMC) could allow an authenticated, local attacker with read-only credentials to inject arbitrary commands that could allow them to obtain root privileges.
