Arista EOS platforms may expose user passwords in clear text within log files when non-standard debugging trace levels are enabled, posing a risk of credential leakage. This vulnerability requires authenticated local administrative access to exploit, making it critical for organizations using Arista EOS to review their logging configurations and restrict access to debugging features. Network administrators and security teams should prioritize addressing this issue to mitigate potential risks associated with unauthorized access.

Original NVD Description

On affected platforms running Arista EOS, under certain circumstances user passwordss may be written in clear text to log files during operations when specialized non-standard debugging trace levels are explicitly enabled. To exploit these vulnerabilities, a malicious actor must already possess authenticated local administrative access to the device shell, and specialized non-standard debugging trace levels must be explicitly enabled. This issue was discovered internally by Arista, and the company is not aware of any malicious exploitation of this vulnerability in customer networks.
