Device impersonation via shared hardcoded SSH key
Published Sep 22, 2025 · Updated Sep 23, 2025
Hard-coded credentials in AiKaan Cloud Controller 3.25.0325-5-g2e9c59796 and earlier allow attackers to impersonate managed devices. The remote-terminal workflow sends the same proxyuser SSH private key to every managed device, which uses it to create a reverse tunnel. Possession of that key is the gate; it enables unauthorized device impersonation, tunnel creation, and interactive access across customer environments.
