DescriptionCVE.org

Under certain circumstances on affected platforms running Arista EOS with gRPC Network Packet Sampling Interface (gNPSI) enabled, an unauthenticated gNPSI client can craft a malicious request to allow arbitrary code execution, granting an attacker full administrative control over the compromised switch.

AnalysisAI

Arbitrary code execution in Arista EOS with the gRPC Network Packet Sampling Interface (gNPSI) enabled allows an unauthenticated gNPSI client to craft a malicious request that executes code on the switch, yielding full administrative control of the device. The exploit path is gated by a hard precondition: gNPSI is not enabled by default and the gRPC endpoint must be network-reachable, which the vendor vector captures as AT:P and the advisory describes as 'under certain circumstances'; given that condition, no authentication (PR:N) or user interaction (UI:N) is needed. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Requires the affected Arista EOS device to have the gRPC Network Packet Sampling Interface (gNPSI) explicitly enabled and network-reachable by the attacker - this feature is not enabled by default, which is the primary limiting factor (reflected as AT:P in the vendor vector and 'under certain circumstances' in the description). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment This is a genuine high-priority vulnerability. … 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 Patch status: no vendor-released fixed EOS version is specified in the available data, so patch availability and the exact remediation release must be confirmed directly from Arista Security Advisory 0158 (https://www.arista.com/en/support/advisories-notices/security-advisory/24714-security-advisory-0158), which enumerates affected platforms and the corresponding fixed EOS releases - do not assume a version number that is not stated in that advisory. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory all Arista EOS switches and identify any that have gNPSI enabled and network-reachable; if gNPSI is not required, disable it, and block the gRPC endpoint from untrusted networks using ACLs or firewall rules. …
