Real — exploited in the wild
CISA confirms active exploitation. Treat scanner hits as true positives unless your specific version or config is unaffected.
Based on CISA KEV
Confirm or dispute →CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:N
On affected platforms running Arista EOS where a tunnel decapsulation configuration—such as VXLAN (Virtual Extensible LAN), decap-groups, or a GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation) tunnel interface—is present, the switch will incorrectly decapsulate and forward other unexpected tunneled packet with a destination IP matching its configured decapsulation IP. This occurs because the switch does not verify the tunnel protocol type, potentially leading to the unexpected processing of non-configured tunnel traffic. This issue has been reported as being exploited in the wild.

Arista Extensible Operating System Incomplete Comparison with Missing Factors Vulnerability — Arista Extensible Operating System (EOS) contains an incomplete comparison with missing factors vulnerability when the switch incorrectly decapsulate and forwards other unexpected tunneled packet with a destination IP matching its configured decapsulation IP. Listed in the CISA KEV catalog (added 2026-06-09) — confirmed exploited in the wild, not theoretical. FIRST EPSS puts the chance of exploitation in the next 30 days at ~1%. Treat it as real and prioritize remediation over triage.
- 0
Required action for Arista Extensible Operating System: Apply mitigations per vendor instructions, follow applicable BOD 22-01 guidance for cloud services, or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable. CISA set a federal remediation due date of 2026-06-23. After patching, verify the vulnerable path is no longer reachable before closing the finding.
