    [+] References : https://packetstorm.news/files/id/212504/ 
    
    [+] Summary :  The vulnerability allows remote unauthenticated connections to access the internal RPC handler component via:
                  /capture/handler.py/load_rpc_manager
                   This script PASSIVELY tests Arista NGFW systems for vulnerability. 
    
    [+]  Usage :   * : Save as: poc.php
                       Run    : php scan.php http[s]://TARGET
    
    Detection Logic:
    ----------------
    500 + “Mod_python error”  → Vulnerable
    404 + <body class="loginPage"> → Not Vulnerable
    Other → Not Arista NGFW
    
    Output:
    -------
    [!] Target appears VULNERABLE
    [+] Target is not affected
    [?] Not Arista NGFW (or protected)
