CVE-2025-44954

CVSS 9 CRITICALEPSS 0.7%CWE-1394
In short

RUCKUS SmartZone versions before 6.1.2p3 contain a hardcoded SSH private key embedded in the system that allows anyone with access to the software to log in as a root-level user. This is critical because attackers can gain complete control over the network device without needing valid credentials.

Technical detail

A hardcoded SSH private key exists for a privileged user account in RUCKUS SmartZone prior to 6.1.2p3 Refresh Build. An attacker with network access or who obtains the software binary can extract the private key and establish authenticated SSH sessions with root-equivalent privileges, achieving complete system compromise without authentication bypass techniques.
