CVE-2025-44954

CWE-1394: Use of Default Cryptographic Key

Unauthenticated RCE in SSH due to Hardcoded Default Public/Private Keys . Ruckus vSZ has a built-in user with all of the same privileges as root. This user also has default public and private RSA keys in its /home/$USER/.ssh/ directory. Anyone with a Ruckus device would also have this private key and be able to ssh as this and then have root-level permissions.

No patches have been supplied by the vendor at this time. To mitigate risk, network administrators should limit access to the wireless management environments that use these affected products, allowing a limited set of trusted users and their authenticated clients to manage Ruckus infrastructure via a secure protocol such as HTTPS or SSH.
