## Description

A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco SD-WAN vManage Software could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to conduct SQL injection attacks on an affected system. This vulnerability is due to improper input validation of SQL queries to an affected system. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by authenticating to the application and sending malicious SQL queries to an affected system. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to modify values on or return values from the vManage database or the underlying operating system.Cisco has released software updates that address these vulnerabilities. There are no workarounds that address these vulnerabilities.
