Associated Vulnerability

Title: Erlang/OTP SSH Vulnerable to Pre-Authentication RCE (CVE-2025-32433)
Description:Erlang/OTP is a set of libraries for the Erlang programming language. Prior to versions OTP-27.3.3, OTP-26.2.5.11, and OTP-25.3.2.20, a SSH server may allow an attacker to perform unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE). By exploiting a flaw in SSH protocol message handling, a malicious actor could gain unauthorized access to affected systems and execute arbitrary commands without valid credentials. This issue is patched in versions OTP-27.3.3, OTP-26.2.5.11, and OTP-25.3.2.20. A temporary workaround involves disabling the SSH server or to prevent access via firewall rules.

Description

A critical flaw has been discovered in Erlang/OTP's SSH server allows unauthenticated attackers to gain remote code execution. One malformed SSH handshake bypasses authentication and exploits improper handling of SSH protocol messages.
