CVE-2025-69425Network attack vector

Root command execution via hardcoded service tokens

Published Jan 9, 2026 · Updated Jan 9, 2026

Remote code execution in RUCKUS Networks vRIoT IoT Controller before 3.0.0.0 (GA) allows remote attackers to execute OS commands as root. The TCP port 2004 command service validates authentication generated from a hardcoded TOTP secret and embedded static token, then runs supplied commands with root privileges. Reachability requires network access to port 2004 and credentials extracted from the appliance or a compromised device; successful exploitation compromises the controller.
