OS command injection in Arista VeloCloud Edge management and configuration workflows allows input supplied through those workflows to be interpreted as an operating-system command, resulting in command execution with elevated privileges on the appliance. Exploitation requires a high-privileged management request or the ability to write a configuration value, so this is primarily a privileged-insider, compromised-admin-account, or post-compromise escalation risk rather than an unauthenticated internet-facing flaw. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis, and no EPSS score was supplied with the record.
Earlier versions of this analysis (1)
OS command injection in Arista VeloCloud Edge (CWE-78) lets an attacker who already holds a high-privileged management session turn a crafted management or configuration value into an operating-system command executed with elevated privileges on the appliance, per Arista security advisory 0181. The vendor rates it CVSS 8.0 (AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H), reflecting network reachability but a significant authentication and complexity barrier. No CISA KEV listing, EPSS score, or public proof-of-concept was provided in the source data, so at time of analysis there is no public exploit identified and no confirmed active exploitation — the practical threat is post-compromise escalation and abuse by insiders or holders of stolen admin credentials.

Lifecycle Timeline
4DescriptionCVE.org
Insufficient validation of inputs supplied through affected VeloCloud Edge management and configuration workflows may allow an authorized management request or configuration value to be interpreted as an operating-system command. Successful exploitation may allow command execution with elevated privileges on the affected VeloCloud Edge.
