CVE-2024-11186
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedOn affected versions of the CloudVision Portal, improper access controls could enable a malicious authenticated user to take broader actions on managed EOS devices than intended. This advisory impacts the Arista CloudVision Portal products when run on-premise. It does not impact CloudVision as-a-Service.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceThis is an authorization bypass vulnerability in Arista CloudVision Portal (on-premise) where improper access controls allow authenticated users to perform actions on managed EOS devices beyond what their assigned permissions should permit. A malicious authenticated user could escalate privileges to take broader administrative actions on network devices.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm Arista CloudVision Portal deploymentIdentify if your environment runs Arista CloudVision Portal (on-premise) by checking for the CVP application services, typically accessible via web UI on port 443 or configured hostnameAffected if CloudVision Portal (on-premise) is present in the environment
-
Determine CloudVision Portal versionAccess CVP administration interface or run 'cvpversion' command on the CVP server to retrieve the installed version numberAffected if Version is unpatched and falls within the vulnerable range (check against vendor advisories for CVE-2024-11186)
-
Review user role assignmentsIn CVP, navigate to Administration > Users and Roles and examine the assigned roles for each user account, particularly those with limited or non-administrative rolesAffected if Users exist with limited roles who should not have administrative access to EOS devices
-
Audit EOS device configuration changesIn CVP, review the Change Control history and Device Snapshots for managed EOS devices to identify unexpected configuration changes or commands issued outside normal workflowsAffected if Configuration changes appear that were not initiated through authorized change management processes
-
Inspect CVP audit logs for privilege escalationExamine CVP audit logs (Administration > Logs > Audit) for actions where users performed administrative operations on EOS devices that exceed their assigned role permissionsAffected if Audit logs show users executing privileged EOS commands outside their defined role scope
A user is affected if they run an unpatched Arista CloudVision Portal (on-premise) version and have users with restricted roles who could potentially bypass authorization controls to perform privileged actions on managed EOS devices.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataApply vendor-provided patches for CloudVision Portal when available; ensure least-privilege user roles are enforced and monitor for unauthorized administrative actions on managed EOS devices.
