Case Study: SSHtranger Things (CVE-2019-6111, CVE-2019-6110) in Cisco SD-WAN# MAL-008: SSHtranger Things (CVE-2019-6111, CVE-2019-6110) in Cisco SD-WAN
Cisco SD-WAN v20.4.2.1 uses an old version of SSH (OpenSSH_7.6p1) that is susceptible to the “SSHtranger Things” attack. If a victim tries to connect to a malicious/compromised SSH server this attack may be used to write/overwrite sensitive files.
By overwriting sensitive script files (e.g. “.bashrc”) this may allow an unauthenticated attacker to obtain Remote Code Execution (RCE) on the victim’s system.
