Unauthenticated privileged access via shared default credentials
Published Jun 18, 2025 · Updated Jun 23, 2025
Insecure defaults in Versa Networks Versa Director 21.2.2, 21.2.3, and 22.1.1 through 22.1.4 allow remote attackers to gain privileged access. The default configuration exposes SSH and PostgreSQL to the internet while multiple accounts, most with sudo access, share vendor-default credentials. Network reachability to an exposed service is sufficient to authenticate with those credentials and gain the selected account's permissions.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
