Technical details

An OS command injection vulnerability (CWE-78) exists in the Reports application infrastructure of Arista Edge Threat Management (NGFW). The root cause is insecure input validation of parameters passed to the reporting engine. An attacker with high-privileged (administrative) access can exploit this over the network to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system. While the attack requires authentication, it allows for significant data exfiltration and potential impact on system integrity. This vulnerability is unique to version 17.4.0; earlier versions are reportedly not affected.
