Hardcoded SSH Keys in RUCKUS RND OVA Enable Privilege Escalation

Publication date: 2026-02-19

Last updated on: 2026-04-03

Assigner: MITRE

Description
In RUCKUS Network Director (RND) < 4.5.0.56, the OVA appliance contains hardcoded SSH keys for the postgres user. These keys are identical across all deployments, allowing an attacker with network access to authenticate via SSH without a password. Once authenticated, the attacker can access the PostgreSQL database with superuser privileges, create administrative users for the web interface, and potentially escalate privileges further.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in RUCKUS Network Director (RND) versions prior to 4.5.0.56. The OVA appliance includes hardcoded SSH keys for the postgres user that are the same across all deployments. This allows an attacker who has network access to authenticate via SSH without needing a password.

Once the attacker authenticates using these keys, they can access the PostgreSQL database with superuser privileges. This access enables them to create administrative users for the web interface and potentially escalate their privileges further.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can have serious impacts including unauthorized access to the PostgreSQL database with superuser privileges. An attacker can create administrative users on the web interface, which compromises the security and integrity of the system.

This unauthorized access can lead to data breaches, manipulation or deletion of critical data, and further privilege escalation within the network environment.
