Exploitation Conditions

Requires a valid authenticated account on the Arista CloudVision CUE platform (PR:L) with network reachability to its API; exploitation is performed by supplying malicious values in specific CloudVision CUE API request parameters that undergo improper validation, triggering SQL injection against the backend database. Impact is limited to availability of that backend - no confidentiality or integrity impact per the vendor vector. The primary limiting factor is the authentication prerequisite; no user interaction is needed and attack complexity is low once credentials are held. Specific affected API endpoints and versions are defined in the Arista advisory and are not enumerated in the provided data.

Impact

Arista's CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N) scores 7.1 (High), driven ENTIRELY by availability impact (VA:H) with explicitly zero confidentiality and integrity impact (VC:N/VI:N) - unusual for SQL injection, which typically yields data disclosure or tampering. This narrows the real-world consequence to a denial-of-service against the CloudVision CUE backend database rather than data theft. No EPSS score, CISA KEV listing, or POC availability was provided in the input, so there is no signal of active or probable exploitation; per the data, no public exploit is identified at time of analysis. The authentication requirement (PR:L) is a meaningful limiting factor - an attacker must first hold valid low-privilege credentials, making this more plausible for insider/post-compromise abuse than mass opportunistic attacks. Net assessment: a genuine but moderate priority - network-reachable and low-complexity, yet gated by authentication and capped at availability loss, so it is a High-CVSS DoS issue rather than a critical breach vector. Note: impact metrics are vendor-asserted and not independently verified; SQLi affecting only availability should be confirmed against the Arista advisory, as injection flaws can sometimes be leveraged beyond the stated impact.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker holding valid low-privilege CloudVision CUE credentials submits crafted API requests containing malicious values in improperly validated parameters, injecting SQL that the backend executes. The injected statements disrupt or exhaust the backend database, degrading or denying availability of CloudVision services. No public exploit code was identified in the provided data; exploitation is network-based and low-complexity but requires prior authentication.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 06, 2026

Authenticated SQL injection in the Arista CloudVision CUE API allows a network user with valid credentials to degrade backend availability by supplying malicious values in specific request parameters that lack proper validation. The CVSS 4.0 score is 7.1 (High), driven entirely by high availability impact (VA:H) with zero confidentiality or integrity impact (VC:N/VI:N), which is atypical for SQL injection. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and exploitation requires prior authentication (PR:L).

RemediationAI

Apply the patch or upgrade specified in Arista Security Advisory 0190 (exact fixed version not provided in the source data). Until patching is possible, restrict network access to the CloudVision CUE API to trusted management networks and enforce least privilege on API accounts, since exploitation requires authentication. Monitor for anomalous API request patterns or backend availability issues that could indicate SQL injection attempts. Limiting API exposure may impede legitimate administrative workflows, and least-privilege enforcement could require role adjustments. No public exploit is known, but the low attack complexity after authentication warrants prioritized patching.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The vulnerability arises from inadequate validation of parameters in API requests to Arista's CloudVision CUE platform, classified under CWE-74 (Injection). This allows an authenticated attacker to inject SQL commands into backend database queries, but the impact is confined to availability, as indicated by the CVSS 4.0 vector (VC:N/VI:N/VA:H). CloudVision CUE is a management and orchestration platform; the affected API endpoints and exact versions are defined in Arista Security Advisory 0190. No CPE data was provided in the intelligence sources, and the vendor advisory is the authoritative reference for affected components.

DescriptionCVE.org

Improper validation of selected CloudVision CUE application programming interface (API) request parameters may allow an authenticated network user to perform SQL injection against the backend impacting its availability.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

A high-severity vulnerability in the Arista CloudVision CUE API could allow an authenticated user to degrade backend availability, potentially disrupting network management and operational visibility for teams that rely on the platform. Because no vendor patch is currently available and access requires valid credentials, the immediate risk is concentrated among authorized accounts or compromised credentials, making identity controls and monitoring critical for leadership oversight.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor patch identified; restrict API access to trusted networks, enforce least privilege and MFA for authenticated users, filter/validate SQL metacharacters at API gateway or WAF, rate-limit and monitor anomalous CloudVision CUE API requests.
