MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires an authenticated, high-privilege administrator account to store the malicious content in a CloudVision CUE configuration (PR:H) - this is not a remote unauthenticated flaw. Payload execution additionally requires a second authenticated user to actively view or compare (UI:A) the affected configuration; it does not fire automatically. These two factors - insider-level admin privilege to plant the payload and required victim interaction to trigger it - are the primary limits on realistic exploitation, confining the threat largely to a malicious or compromised administrator targeting other operators of the same platform. |
| Impact | This is a stored XSS (CWE-79) in Arista CloudVision CUE that scores a medium 6.2 under the vendor-supplied CVSS 4.0 vector. The signals are internally consistent and point to a comparatively low real-world priority rather than an urgent one. The vector is network-reachable (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L), but it requires the highest privilege level (PR:H) - i.e. an authenticated, high-privilege administrator must plant the payload - and it requires active victim interaction (UI:A), since a second authenticated user must view or compare the poisoned configuration. Notably there is NO direct impact on the vulnerable system itself (VC:N/VI:N/VA:N); all impact is on the subsequent system (SC:H/SI:H/SA:H), reflecting that the payload executes in the victim's authenticated browser session. No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public POC were provided in the input, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The dominant risk reducer is the insider-level prerequisite: an attacker must already hold high-privilege admin access, which both narrows the realistic threat to a malicious or compromised admin and limits widespread opportunistic exploitation. Key missing data: no EPSS probability and no independent exploitation evidence were supplied, so exploitation likelihood cannot be quantified from this input. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A malicious or compromised high-privilege administrator injects a crafted script payload into a CloudVision CUE configuration field. When another authenticated operator later opens or runs a comparison on that configuration, the stored script executes in their browser session, letting the attacker act as that user to read sensitive data, alter configurations, or disrupt managed wireless services. No public exploit code was provided in the input, so this is a plausible scenario rather than a demonstrated one. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 06, 2026
Stored cross-site scripting in Arista CloudVision CUE can let an authenticated, high-privilege administrator store malicious content in a configuration that later executes in another authenticated user's browser when that user views or compares the affected configuration. Successful exploitation could allow the attacker to act through the victim's authenticated session to access sensitive data, modify configurations, or disrupt managed wireless services. The issue is rated medium (6.2), requires high privileges and victim interaction, and no public exploit was identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
No exact fixed version was provided in the available intelligence; consult Arista Security Advisory 0192 at https://www.arista.com/en/support/advisories-notices/security-advisory/24808-security-advisory-0192 for the current patched release and upgrade instructions. Until a vendor update is applied, restrict configuration-edit privileges to trusted administrators, enforce least privilege and just-in-time elevation for CloudVision CUE administrative accounts, and audit or alert on configuration changes that contain script-like or unexpected content. If operationally feasible, limit use of the configuration view/compare feature to trusted operators to reduce exposure to a planted payload; this may reduce operational visibility. Because exploitation requires a high-privilege admin to store the payload and a second authenticated user to interact with the affected configuration, separating administrative duties and monitoring administrative changes are the most practical compensating controls, though they do not fully eliminate the XSS risk.

Technical ContextAI · show details
This is a stored cross-site scripting issue tracked as CWE-79 (improper neutralization of input during web page generation). The affected technology is Arista CloudVision CUE, a management and orchestration platform for wireless services. The vulnerability is persistent rather than reflected: a high-privilege administrator can save malicious content into a configuration, and the payload is later rendered in another authenticated user's browser when that user views or compares the configuration. The vendor-supplied CVSS 4.0 vector (6.2) requires high privileges (PR:H) and user interaction (UI:A), and our independent CVSS 3.1 assessment agrees the score is 6.2 with AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L. This is not an unauthenticated remote flaw; exploitation is constrained by the need for an insider-level admin account to plant the payload and a second authenticated user to trigger execution by viewing or comparing the affected configuration. Tags include XSS and Information Disclosure, and ENISA EUVD identifies the affected version range as CloudVision CUE 2025.2.0 through 2026.2.0. No CPE strings were supplied in the provided intelligence.

Stored XSS needs a high-privilege admin (PR:H) and a victim viewing the config (UI:R); payload runs in the victim's browser so scope changes (S:C) with limited C/I/A.

DescriptionCVE.org
A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability may allow an authenticated, high-privilege administrator to store malicious content in a configuration. The content may execute in another authenticated user's browser when that user views or compares the affected configuration. Successful exploitation may allow the attacker to act through the victim's authenticated browser session to access sensitive data, modify configurations, or disrupt managed wireless services.

Cross-Site Scripting occurs when an application accepts untrusted data and sends it to a web browser without proper validation or encoding.
Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security.
