CVE-2021-1498 is a command injection vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco HyperFlex HX, specifically in the /storfs-asup endpoint. The vulnerability arises from the construction of shell commands using unsanitized user input from the 'token' and 'mode' parameters. This flaw allows unauthenticated, remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands on the affected system. The vulnerable servlet is com.storvisor.sysmgmt.service.StorfsAsup, and the issue is present in default installations. The underlying stack includes Tomcat 7 and nginx 1.8.1.
