CVE-2026-73464

Summary

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.

Weaknesses

  • CWE-94: CWE-94 Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')

Workarounds

Disable any gNMI transports:

management api gnmi no transport grpc <name>

Disabling all gNMI transports makes gNMI, gNOI, and gNSI services unavailable. If no RESTCONF or NETCONF transports are configured, the OpenConfig/Octa agent will also stop. CloudVision provisioning via TerminAttr is unaffected. All services resume when a gNMI transport is re-enabled.

Note: This mitigation is not applicable to DMF-managed EOS switches. gNMI transports are enabled by default on these platforms and cannot be disabled.
