CVE-2025-54545

Local privilege escalation via debug developer command

Published Oct 29, 2025 · Updated Oct 29, 2025

Privilege escalation in Arista DANZ Monitoring Fabric allows local users with restricted CLI access to obtain a system shell. The CLI incorrectly permits a non-administrator to run the debug developer command, which exits the restricted sandbox into the system shell. Exploitation requires a non-administrator account able to log in locally or through TACACS+ or RADIUS and grants full host privileges.
