CVE-2018-12338

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions ECOS System Management Appliance (aka SMA) version 5.2.68

Description The issue concerns an undocumented factory backdoor that allows the vendor to extract confidential information and manipulate security-relevant configurations. This is achieved via remote root SSH access.

Recommendations For version 5.2.68, consider restricting remote SSH access to minimize the risk of exploitation until a fix is available. As a temporary workaround, limit the use of root SSH access to only necessary instances.
