Unauthenticated database superuser access via shared SSH keys
Published Feb 19, 2026 · Updated Feb 19, 2026
Authentication bypass in RUCKUS Network Director before 4.5.0.56 allows remote attackers to gain PostgreSQL superuser access via SSH. The OVA kickstart configuration embeds the same postgres private and authorized SSH keys in every deployment instead of generating unique keys. Network reachability to TCP 22 is sufficient to obtain operating-system access, read or write application data, and create web administrators.
