Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Target must be running exactly Arista NGFW version 17.4.0 with the Captive Portal application framework deployed and reachable by the attacker. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:L/VA:L/SC:L/SI:L/SA:L) shows network reach with low attack complexity but high privileges required, materially limiting blast radius - an attacker already needs admin-tier access to the NGFW management surface. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker who has obtained or compromised a high-privileged NGFW administrator account (for example via phishing, credential reuse, or insider access) reaches the management interface over the network and submits a crafted payload through the Captive Portal encrypted password handling path. The injected shell metacharacters execute in the context of the captive portal service, allowing the attacker to read sensitive firewall configuration, captured credentials, or portal session data. …
Remediation Consult the Arista security advisory at https://www.arista.com/en/support/advisories-notices/security-advisory/22867-security-advisory-0133 for the fixed release - patch availability per vendor advisory but an exact fixed version was not provided in the input data. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: Identify all Arista NGFW v17.4.0 deployments and restrict administrative access to essential personnel only. …
