Critical [CVE-2026-20212] Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches Silicon One Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
A vulnerability in the Silicon One integration for Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute code with root privileges. This vulnerability exists because TCP ports 43210 and 43211 are accessible in the default Layer 3 (L3) virtual routing and forwarding (VRF). A successful exploit could allow the attacker to connect to an affected device and send crafted input that could be executed as code with root privileges. The exploitation of this vulnerability could also cause the S1HAL process to crash, which could cause the device to reload. Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are workarounds that address this vulnerability. Affected products named by the advisory: NX-OS Software.

Medium [CVE-2026-20171] Cisco Nexus 3000 and 9000 Series Switches Border Gateway Protocol Denial of Service Vulnerability
A vulnerability in the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) enforce-first-as feature of Cisco Nexus 3000 Series Switches and Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches in standalone NX-OS mode could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to trigger BGP peer flaps, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition. This vulnerability is due to incorrect parsing of a transitive BGP attribute. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted BGP update through an established BGP peer session. If the update propagates to an affected device, it could cause the device to drop the BGP session and flap with the BGP peer that is forwarding this update, resulting in a DoS condition. Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are workarounds that address this vulnerability. Affected products named by the advisory: NX-OS Software.
High [CVE-2023-20185] Cisco ACI Multi-Site CloudSec Encryption Information Disclosure Vulnerability
A vulnerability in the Cisco ACI Multi-Site CloudSec encryption feature of Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Fabric Switches in ACI mode could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to read or modify intersite encrypted traffic. This vulnerability is due to an issue with the implementation of the ciphers that are used by the CloudSec encryption feature on affected switches. An attacker with an on-path position between the ACI sites could exploit this vulnerability by intercepting intersite encrypted traffic and using cryptanalytic techniques to break the encryption. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to read or modify the traffic that is transmitted between the sites. Cisco has deprecated and removed the ACI Multi-Site CloudSec encryption feature that is affected by this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability. Affected products named by the advisory: NX-OS System Software in ACI Mode.
Medium [CVE-2026-20041] Cisco Nexus Dashboard and Nexus Dashboard Insights Server-Side Request Forgery Vulnerability
A vulnerability in Cisco Nexus Dashboard and Cisco Nexus Dashboard Insights could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to conduct a server-side request forgery (SSRF) attack through an affected device. This vulnerability is due to improper input validation for specific HTTP requests. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by persuading an authenticated user of the device management interface to click a crafted link. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to send arbitrary network requests that are sourced from the affected device to an attacker-controlled server. The attac…
Medium [CVE-2026-20042] Cisco Nexus Dashboard Configuration Backup REST API Unauthorized Access Vulnerability
A vulnerability in the configuration backup feature of Cisco Nexus Dashboard could allow an attacker who has the encryption password and access to Full or Config-only backup files to access sensitive information. This vulnerability exists because authentication details are included in the encrypted backup files. An attacker with a valid backup file and encryption password from an affected device could decrypt the backup file. The attacker could then use the authentication details in the backup file to access internal-only APIs on the affected device. A successful exploit could allow the att…
Medium [CVE-2026-20174] Cisco Nexus Dashboard Insights Arbitrary File Write Vulnerability
A vulnerability in the Metadata update feature of Cisco Nexus Dashboard Insights could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to write arbitrary files to an affected system. This vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of the metadata update file.
High [CVE-2026-20033] Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Fabric Switches in ACI Mode Denial of Service Vulnerability
A vulnerability in Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Fabric Switches in ACI mode could allow an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device. This vulnerability is due to insufficient validation when processing specific Ethernet frames. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted Ethernet frame to the management interface of an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the device to reload unexpectedly, resulting in a DoS condition. Note: Only the out-of-band (OOB) management interface is affe… Affected products named by the advisory: Cisco NX-OS System Software in ACI Mode 15.2(1g); Cisco NX-OS System Software in ACI Mode 15.2(2e); Cisco NX-OS System Software in ACI Mode 15.2(2f); Cisco NX-OS System Software in ACI Mode 15.2(2g); and 4 more.
High [CVE-2026-20048] Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Fabric Switches in ACI Mode SNMP Denial of Service Vulnerability
A vulnerability in the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) subsystem of Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Fabric Switches in ACI mode could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device. This vulnerability is due to improper processing when parsing SNMP requests. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by continuously sending SNMP queries to a specific MIB of an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause a kernel panic on the device, resulting in a reload and a DoS condition. Note: This vulnerability … Affected products named by the advisory: Cisco NX-OS System Software in ACI Mode 15.2(1g); Cisco NX-OS System Software in ACI Mode 15.2(2e); Cisco NX-OS System Software in ACI Mode 15.2(2f); Cisco NX-OS System Software in ACI Mode 15.2(2g); and 4 more.

A vulnerability in the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) feature of Cisco NX-OS Software could allow an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to cause the LLDP process to restart, which could cause an affected device to reload unexpectedly. This vulnerability is due to improper handling of specific fields in an LLDP frame. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted LLDP packet to an interface of an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the device to reload, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition. Affected products named by the advisory: Cisco Unified Computing System (Managed); Cisco NX-OS Software 10.3(1); Cisco NX-OS Software 10.3(2); Cisco NX-OS Software 10.3(3); and 5 more.
