DescriptionCVE.org

On affected platforms running Arista EOS where a tunnel decapsulation configuration-such as VXLAN (Virtual Extensible LAN), decap-groups, or a GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation) tunnel interface-is present, the switch will incorrectly decapsulate and forward other unexpected tunneled packet with a destination IP matching its configured decapsulation IP. This occurs because the switch does not verify the tunnel protocol type, potentially leading to the unexpected processing of non-configured tunnel traffic.

This issue has been reported as being exploited in the wild.

AnalysisAI

Tunnel decapsulation logic in Arista EOS fails to verify the encapsulation protocol type, allowing any tunneled packet destined for a configured decapsulation IP to be silently unwrapped and forwarded into the network. Unauthenticated remote attackers (PR:N, AV:N per CVSS 4.0) can inject traffic into network segments by exploiting this check bypass on switches with VXLAN, decap-groups, or GRE configurations. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Recon
Identify EOS switch with VXLAN/GRE decap configured
Delivery
Determine decapsulation destination IP
Exploit
Craft tunneled packet with non-configured protocol type
Install
Send packet to decap IP over network
C2
Switch matches IP, skips protocol-type verification
Execute
Switch decapsulates and forwards inner payload
Impact
Injected traffic enters protected network segment

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation is only possible when the target Arista EOS switch has an active tunnel decapsulation configuration - specifically at least one of: a VXLAN VTEP/decapsulation IP, a decap-group configuration, or a GRE tunnel interface. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 base score of 6.9 with vector AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N reflects unauthenticated, low-complexity, remotely triggerable exploitation with no user interaction needed - a favorable attack surface. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker on the internet or an adjacent network crafts tunneled IP packets (for example, VXLAN-encapsulated frames) addressed to a GRE-configured EOS switch's decapsulation IP. The switch, checking only the destination IP and not the protocol type, decapsulates the VXLAN frames and forwards the inner traffic into the protected network segment as if it originated from a trusted tunnel peer. …
Remediation The primary remediation is to apply the vendor-released patch per Arista Security Advisory 0137, available at https://www.arista.com/en/support/advisories-notices/security-advisory/22872-security-advisory-0137. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
