03 Exploitation and scoring

Exploitation
Assessed, none found. CISA's assessment recorded neither public exploit code nor evidence of exploitation when it was made.
SSVC decision
  • ExploitationnoneCISA recorded no public exploit code and no evidence of exploitation.
  • AutomatablenoAt least one step from reconnaissance to exploitation cannot be reliably automated.
  • Technical ImpacttotalSuccessful exploitation gives total control of the vulnerable component.
CISA publishes the decision points, not a final SSVC decision. The decision also depends on mission and well-being impact, which is a property of your deployment rather than of the vulnerability.
EPSS probability
0.20% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days.
EPSS percentile
Equal to or higher than the score of 10.7% of scored records. A rank, not a probability.
NVD base score
6.5 (CVSS v4.0), scored by the NVD independently of the CNA.

07 Remediation

The recommended resolution is to upgrade to a remediated software version at your earliest convenience and enable the reply source-address validation CLI knob under dhcp relay mode: switch(config)# dhcp relay switch(config-dhcp-relay)# reply source-address validation CVE-2026-73437 has been fixed in the following releases: * 4.36.2F and later releases in the 4.36.x train * 4.35.6M and later releases in the 4.35.x train * 4.34.8M and later releases in the 4.34.x train * 4.33.10M and later releases in the 4.33.x train Note: All versions require upgrading to a release containing the fix (as listed above) and applying the required configuration. Arista will not be providing any hotfixes.
