Summary
A vulnerability in Cisco Nexus Dashboard and Cisco Nexus Dashboard Insights is due to improper input validation for specific HTTP requests. An unauthenticated remote attacker could persuade an authenticated user to click a crafted link, enabling an SSRF attack and sending arbitrary network requests from the device to an attacker-controlled server.
Risk Assessment
The attacker could access sensitive browser-based information or execute arbitrary script code in the context of the management interface. This may lead to confidentiality breaches and further exploitation of internal network resources.
Recommendation
Apply the security updates provided by Cisco for Nexus Dashboard and Nexus Dashboard Insights. Additionally, restrict access to the management interface and educate users about clicking unknown links.

Original NVD description (English source)
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 attacker could then execute arbitrary script code in the context of the affected interface or access sensitive browser-based information.
