Description

An input validation vulnerability exists in an API component of the orchestrator. An authenticated user can exploit this flaw to manipulate backend queries, which may result in unauthorized access to data beyond their intended privileges and cause the underlying system to initiate unintended outbound network connections. This issue was discovered internally by Arista and the company is not aware of any malicious uses of this issue in customer networks.

• CWE-89Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.
