Overview

vantage6 is a vantage6 command line interface

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Access Control due to insecure default SSH configurations for node and server containers. An attacker can gain unauthorized root access with password authentication by exploiting this misconfiguration.

Note:

This is only exploitable if the SSH service is exposed, which is not the case in a proper deployment.
