The article mentions this, but this is the second time this piece of software has been in the news in as many years. Last year they had an SQL injection vulnerability on an unauthenticated page that was widely exploited to grab all kinds of juicy data. This year, it appears like their dumb, closed source SSH library may be responsible for allowing unauthenticated access.
I’m excited to see what vulnerability 2025 will bring. Maybe this will push more people to use audited open source code like openssh and the tooling built around it. I’m pretty sure sshd is compliant with HIPAA and PCI.
