Description

An issue in Raspberry Pi Imager version 1.9.6 for Windows, affecting its OS customization feature. The imager's 'public-key authentication' setting unintentionally re-adds a user's id_rsa.pub key from their local Windows machine to the authorized_keys file on the Raspberry Pi, even after the user explicitly deletes the key from the user interface. This creates an unintended attack surface, as it could allow an attacker to use a different key than the intended one to login to the device.

Attack-Flow Graph

Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in Raspberry Pi Imager version 1.9.6 for Windows, specifically in its OS customization feature. The 'public-key authentication' setting mistakenly re-adds a user's id_rsa.pub key from their local Windows machine to the authorized_keys file on the Raspberry Pi, even if the user deletes the key through the user interface. This means the key remains authorized on the device without the user's consent.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability creates an unintended attack surface by allowing an attacker to potentially use a different SSH key than the one intended by the user to log into the Raspberry Pi device. This could lead to unauthorized access to the device.
