Technical analysis, exploit verification, and patch instructions for CVE-2025-67305 impacting commscope ruckus_network_director. Evaluated with CVSS Base Score of 9.8 (CRITICAL).

Original NVD Description

Source: NIST NVD
In RUCKUS Network Director (RND) < 4.5.0.56, the OVA appliance contains hardcoded SSH keys for the postgres user. These keys are identical across all deployments, allowing an attacker with network access to authenticate via SSH without a password. Once authenticated, the attacker can access the PostgreSQL database with superuser privileges, create administrative users for the web interface, and potentially escalate privileges further.
