DescriptionCVE.org

An input validation command execution vulnerability exists in the browser management pipeline of Arista Edge Threat Management - Arista Next Generation Firewall (NGFW). Authenticated administrators can leverage this exposure to obtain underlying terminal script code processing execution permissions.

AnalysisAI

Authenticated command injection in Arista Edge Threat Management Next Generation Firewall (NGFW) allows administrators with existing access to the browser management pipeline to break out and execute arbitrary terminal/shell script code on the underlying appliance OS. The flaw stems from insufficient input validation (CWE-78) within management-plane functionality and carries a CVSS 4.0 score of 7.0 with no public exploit identified at time of analysis. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires a valid high-privilege administrator account on the Arista NGFW (CVSS PR:H) plus network reachability to the browser-based management interface, and the attacker must interact with the specific 'browser management pipeline' endpoint that fails to validate input before passing it to a shell/script interpreter. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment Risk is moderate rather than critical. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker who has obtained or phished an NGFW administrator credential - or a malicious insider with admin rights - logs into the browser management console and submits a crafted request to the vulnerable management pipeline whose parameters include shell metacharacters. The injected command runs as the underlying management process, giving the attacker an interactive foothold on the firewall to disable filtering rules, exfiltrate configuration and traffic captures, or pivot deeper into the network. …
Remediation Patch status from the available data is best described as: patch available per vendor advisory - consult Arista Security Advisory 0133 (https://www.arista.com/en/support/advisories-notices/security-advisory/23399-security-advisory-0133) for the exact fixed version and upgrade path, as no specific fix version was supplied in the input data and version numbers should not be invented. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

24-hour: Inventory all Arista NGFW instances and document administrative access control lists; identify any non-essential administrative users or remote access. …
