Arista VeloCloud Orchestrator Improper Input Validation Vulnerability
Arista · VeloCloud Orchestrator
Arista's VeloCloud Orchestrator (VCO) has an improper input validation flaw in its on-prem deployment. An unauthenticated remote attacker over the network, requiring no user interaction and no special configuration, can access privileged internal functionality and impact the VCO host, potentially compromising the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the orchestrator and the data it manages.
VeloCloud Orchestrator (VCO) on-prem has a security issue where this issue may allow a remote attacker to access privileged internal functionality and impact the VCO host. Successful exploitation may compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the orchestrator and data managed by the orchestrator. Hosted, including Dedicated, versions of VCO were impacted and have already been patched.
