It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-28498 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Arista Metamako Operating System. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-28498/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-28498/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-28498","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-28498/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-28498","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-rp5c-jhh9-9f2j"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Arista Metamako OS","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Unprivileged users can gain complete system access because enable passwords are stored in clear text in Arista Metamako OS.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"hardcoded_credentials"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Arista","cpe":[{"product":"metamako_operating_system","vendor":"arista"}],"cvss":{"score":8.7,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-522","name":"Insufficiently Protected Credentials"},{"id":"CWE-255","name":null}],"description":"In Arista's MOS (Metamako Operating System) software which is supported on the 7130 product line, user enable passwords set in clear text could result in unprivileged users getting complete access to the systems.
