## Summary
VMWare Aria Operations for Networks (vRealize Network Insight) from version 6.0 to 6.10 did not regenerate the ssh keys for the `support` and `ubuntu` users, allowing an attacker with SSH access to gain `root` shell access to this product.

This issue was reported to VMWare by <a style="text-decoration: none" href="https://twitter.com/rootxharsh" target="_blank">Harsh Jaiswal (@rootxharsh)</a>

I just wrote the exploit, if you can call it that, cause it's basically a ssh command wrapper.
