An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-73461 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Arista Networks EOS. 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-2026-73461/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-73461/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-73461","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-73461/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-73461","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-cppj-w9qw-f23c"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Arista EOS","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Authenticated users can bypass intended privilege restrictions on OpenConfig gRPC requests when AAA authorization is enabled, leading to unauthorized access.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Arista","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":9.4,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-266","name":"Incorrect Privilege Assignment"}],"description":"On affected EOS platforms with AAA-based gRPC authorization enabled for OpenConfig, gRPC requests of an authenticated user to OpenConfig may use the wrong privilege level, resulting in an authorization using the wrong AAA method list.
