CVE-2018-6961 is a command injection vulnerability affecting VMware NSX SD-WAN Edge by VeloCloud prior to version 3.1.0. The flaw exists in the local web UI component and can allow attacker-supplied input to be interpreted as operating system commands. The local web UI is disabled by default, which limits exposure in default deployments, but if enabled and reachable by an attacker, successful exploitation can lead to remote code execution on the appliance.
