Cisco announced several critical vulnerabilities for the Cisco Nexus Dashboard that could allow a remote unauthenticated attacker to run arbitrary commands, read image files, or run cross-site forgery attacks. Specifics of the vulnerabilities can be found here, and below is a brief description of each: 

CVE-2022-20857: Arbitrary Command Execution

CVE-2022-20861: Cross-Site Request Forgery
