MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Credential Access The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires an authenticated tenant account with a minimum role of Enterprise Standard Admin on Arista VeloCloud Orchestrator On-Prem; the attacker must reach the specific vulnerable VCO feature that fails to validate caller-supplied input. Realistic impact is further gated by which internal (otherwise non-accessible) services the Orchestrator can route to in a given deployment. Affected: VCO On-Prem 6.1.0<6.1.3.4, 5.2.0<5.2.3.14, and 6.4.0<6.4.2.4; upgrading to the fixed releases removes the condition. Limiting factors: privileged role required (not unauthenticated), no user interaction of a victim needed, and impact is confined to subsequent internal systems rather than the Orchestrator's own confidentiality/integrity/availability. |
| Impact | This is a genuine but bounded, mid-severity issue rather than an urgent priority. The vendor CVSS 4.0 base of 6.3 (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N) correctly reflects an authenticated, network-reachable SSRF whose damage lands on subsequent internal systems (SC:H/SI:L) rather than on the Orchestrator itself (VC:N/VI:N/VA:N). All exploitation signals point away from imminent mass exploitation: CISA SSVC scores Exploitation=none, Automatable=no, Technical Impact=partial; there is no CISA KEV listing and no public exploit code identified. EPSS is 2.34% (82nd percentile) - modestly elevated versus the median but not indicative of active, widespread exploitation, and it is consistent with the vendor's own statement that the flaw was found internally with no known malicious use. The key limiting factor is the required privilege: exploitation demands a minimum role of Enterprise Standard Admin (PR:L), so this is an authenticated privilege/isolation-boundary bypass, not an unauthenticated internet-facing RCE. No signals are strongly conflicting; the main caveat is that the real blast radius depends on what internal services the Orchestrator can reach, which is deployment-specific. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker holding (or having compromised) an account with at least the Enterprise Standard Admin role sends a crafted request to the vulnerable VCO feature, supplying an input the feature fails to validate. The Orchestrator then issues attacker-directed requests on behalf of the tenant to internal services that are not otherwise reachable, enabling reconnaissance or interaction with back-end systems. No public proof-of-concept or exploit code has been identified at the time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 16, 2026
Server-side request forgery in Arista VeloCloud Orchestrator On-Prem lets an authenticated tenant account with at least the Enterprise Standard Admin role induce the Orchestrator to issue requests to internal services that are otherwise unreachable, because a VCO feature fails to sufficiently validate caller-supplied input. Impact is scoped to subsequent systems rather than the Orchestrator itself (low confidentiality/integrity, no availability effect), so real risk depends on what internal services a given deployment can route to. No public exploit code or active exploitation is known - Arista discovered the issue internally and confirms no malicious use in customer networks - although EPSS places it around the 82nd percentile, and vendor patches are available for the affected release trains.
RemediationAI
Apply the vendor-released fixed builds for each affected train: VeloCloud Orchestrator On-Prem 5.2.3.14 (or later in the 5.2 line), 6.1.3.4 (or later in the 6.1 line), and 6.4.2.4 (or later in the 6.4 line), per Arista Security Advisory 0145 at https://www.arista.com/en/support/advisories-notices/security-advisory/24365-security-advisory-0145. Until upgrades complete, reduce the attack surface by restricting Enterprise Standard Admin (and higher) tenant assignments to identities that genuinely require them and by auditing/soaking up privileged tenant accounts, since the issue is only reachable with that role; be aware this is a role-minimization trade-off that may disrupt legitimate administrative workflows. Where the deployment permits it, segment or firewall the Orchestrator management interface so it cannot reach internal services unrelated to orchestration, understanding that overly tight egress rules can break legitimate VCO-to-infrastructure communication and should be validated in a test environment first. If the vulnerable internal-request feature can be disabled or its input restricted via configuration, do so as a temporary compensating control, accepting the loss of that functionality. Monitor Arista advisories for updated guidance and watch Orchestrator logs for anomalous outbound requests originating from the VCO to unexpected internal endpoints.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The root cause is CWE-918 (server-side request forgery): a feature of the VeloCloud Orchestrator (VCO) On-Prem web/management plane accepts caller-supplied input - most plausibly a URL, hostname, or endpoint parameter - and forwards or fetches it without adequate validation, allowing the request to be redirected toward internal services that the caller could not reach directly. Because the vulnerable component runs inside the management/orchestration tier, it can act as a trusted pivot into network segments that are not exposed to tenant-facing interfaces. The submitted CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N, with SC:H and SI:L alongside VC/VI/VA:N) and the independent CVSS 3.1 assessment (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N) both describe a scope-changing, low-severity-impact SSRF that requires authenticated access with a privileged tenant role. The affected CPE is arista_networks:velocloud_orchestrator_on-prem, indicating the on-premises deployment form of the product, consistent with EUVD's affected ranges: 6.1.0 before 6.1.3.4, 5.2.0 before 5.2.3.14, and 6.4.0 before 6.4.2.4. SSVC rates exploitation as none, automatable as no, and technical impact as partial, matching the assessment that this is bounded rather than an urgent, wormable condition. Per the independent assessment, exploitation requires an authenticated tenant account holding at least the Enterprise Standard Admin role and reachability to the specific vulnerable feature; no victim user interaction is needed, and impact falls on downstream internal systems rather than the Orchestrator's own confidentiality, integrity, or availability.
