The report describes a command injection vulnerability in Arista NG Firewall: the NetworkManagerImpl.runTroubleshooting() JSON-RPC method concatenates user-provided parameters into environment variables and calls network-troubleshooting.sh via Runtime.getRuntime().exec(), where the script uses eval; input filtering omits characters like the backtick, enabling potential command injection.
