Summary
A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco Catalyst Center, formerly Cisco DNA Center, could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to change specific data within the interface on an affected device.

A successful exploit could allow the attacker to change a specific field within the web-based management interface, even though they should not have access to change that field.
