A vulnerability in Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC) export policies functionality allows an authenticated remote attacker with administrative credentials to access sensitive files on the device. The flaw arises from insufficient access control in file system resources, enabling crafted input in UI fields to retrieve sensitive files, including key materials that could lead to root privilege escalation on the APIC and managed switches.

A vulnerability in the export policies functionality of Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC) could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to access sensitive files on an affected device. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker must have valid administrative credentials. This vulnerability is due to insufficient access control to file system resources. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by submitting crafted values in specific UI fields. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to access sensitive files from the underlying file system of an affected device, including key materials that could be used to elevate privileges to root on the affected APIC and on managed switches.
