    CISA KEV: Arista Extensible Operating System CVE-2026-7473 (CVSS 4.0 6.9 MEDIUM) - Extensible Operating System Incomplete Comparison with Missing Factors Vulnerability

    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.

    How we got to 6.5

    1. 1
      CVSS technical severity (40%)

      Industry-standard exploitability + impact score. We prefer CVSS 4.0 and fall back to 3.1 per the FDA's Feb 2026 premarket cybersecurity guidance. Missing CVSS scores get a neutral 4.0 so unknown vulns are not over- or under-rated.

      4.0 base 6.9 × 40% = +2.76
    2. 2
      Patient safety impact (35%)

      What happens to a patient if this vuln is exploited on a connected device. Auto-inferred from headline, dek, tags, and device class against a curated MedTech keyword library (pacemaker, infusion pump, EHR, PACS, etc.).

      Delay of care → 5 × 35% = +1.75
    3. 3
      Exploit maturity (15%)

      Is anyone actually using this in attacks? KEV listing > weaponized exploit > public PoC > none. KEV alone forces tier=critical regardless of CVSS.

      On CISA KEV (in-the-wild) → 10 × 15% = +1.50
    4. 4
      MedTech exposure (10%)

      How likely this affects clinical operations: presence in our MedTech feed (+4 baseline), network-reachable signals (+3), known device-class tags (+2), identified MedTech vendor (+1).

      Exposure 5/10 × 10% = +0.50

    Required action

    Apply mitigations per vendor instructions, follow applicable BOD 22-01 guidance for cloud services, or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.
