Multiple Vulnerabilities in Cisco Products Could Allow for Arbitrary Code Execution

📅 2 April 2026 at 15:17 UTC📰 CIS AdvisoriesView original source ↗

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Cisco products, the most severe of which could allow for arbitrary code execution. Cisco Smart Software Manager On‑Prem is a centralized Cisco tool used by organizations to manage software licenses, entitlements, and compliance for Cisco products within their own network environment.Cisco Integrated Management Controller (IMC) is embedded server management software that allows administrators to remotely monitor, configure, and control Cisco servers without needing an operating system installed.Cisco Evolved Programmable Network Manager (EPNM) is a network management platform used to provision, monitor, and automate large‑scale Cisco network infrastructures.Cisco Nexus Dashboard is a centralized management and operations platform that provides visibility, policy management, and analytics across Cisco Nexus data center networks.Cisco Nexus Dashboard Insights is an analytics and assurance application that runs on Nexus Dashboard to detect configuration issues, performance problems, and network anomalies in data center environments.Successful exploitation of the most severe of these vulnerabilities could allow for arbitrary code execution, which may lead to the complete compromise of the affected device.
