On affected platforms running Arista EOS with gRPC Network Management Interface (gNMI) enabled, a specially crafted request could allow a malicious authenticated client with gRPC Network Management Interface (gNMI) access to execute arbitrary code with root privileges on the switch.
AnalysisAI
Authenticated remote code execution in Arista EOS allows a malicious client with valid gRPC Network Management Interface (gNMI) access to execute arbitrary code with root privileges on the switch by sending a single specially crafted request. Only switches where gNMI has been explicitly enabled are exposed - gNMI is a non-default management API - and the attacker must already hold working gNMI credentials, which limits practical exposure to insiders or adversaries who have already compromised network-automation or management accounts, but grants them full root control of the device with low attack complexity and no user interaction. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires (1) the gRPC Network Management Interface (gNMI) to be enabled on the Arista EOS switch - a non-default management API that must be explicitly configured - and (2) the attacker to be an authenticated client already possessing valid gNMI access credentials (PR:L). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | This is a genuinely high-priority vulnerability that warrants prompt patching. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | The primary fix is to upgrade EOS to the patched release(s) listed in Arista security advisory SA-0166 (https://www.arista.com/en/support/advisories-notices/security-advisory/24722-security-advisory-0166); the advisory is the authoritative source for exact fixed version numbers, which are not enumerated in the available data, so confirm the target release against it before scheduling maintenance windows. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all Arista EOS devices and determine which have gNMI explicitly enabled; for any switch where gNMI is not essential, disable the gNMI service immediately, and for those where it is required, restrict access to trusted management networks via ACLs or firewall rules and rotate credentials for all gNMI and network-automation accounts. …
