CVE-2025-5090Arista CloudVision Exchange Cluster Instability via Unexpected Switch Messages
Medium 6.5
In plain English
A medium-severity improper input validation in EOS / CloudVision eXchange (CVX) from Arista Networks. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation so far. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 0.2% (higher than 14% of all known vulnerabilities).
Official description
CVX is not resilient to unexpected messages from a connected switch. This leads to agent crashes on CVX causing instability in the CVX cluster. An attacker could use this behavior to create a denial of service (DoS) scenario. Note that this would require the attacker to have a high privilege access to the connected switch to be able to send custom TCP packets to the CVX.
