Arista Networks MOS Encryption Issue Vulnerability

Arista Networks MOS is a fully programmable and highly modular Linux-based network operating system from Arista Networks, Inc. that uses the familiar industry-standard CLI and runs a single binary software image in the Arista switch family. The vulnerability stems from the fact that the product does not effectively encrypt user account passwords, which could be exploited by an attacker to cause user account passwords to be presented to users in plaintext.
