CVE-2018-16158 – Eaton Xpert Meter SSH Private Key Exposure Scanner

https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2018-16158

Eaton Power Xpert Meter 4000, 6000, and 8000 devices before 13.4.0.10 have a single SSH private key across different customers' installations and do not properly restrict access to this key, which makes it easier for remote attackers to perform SSH logins (to uid 0) via the PubkeyAuthentication option. Los dispositivos Eaton Power Xpert Meter 4000, 6000 y 8000 en versiones anteriores a la 13.4.0.10 tienen una única clave privada SSH en las diferentes instalaciones de clientes y no restringen correctamente el acceso a dicha clave, lo que facilita que atacantes remotos realicen inicios de sesión SSH (a uid 0) mediante la opción PubkeyAuthentication. Eaton Power Xpert Meters running firmware below version 12.x.x.x or below version 13.3.x.x ship with a public/private key pair that facilitate remote administrative access to the devices. Tested on: Firmware 12.1.9.1 and 13.3.2.10. • http://www.eaton.com/content/dam/eaton/company/news-insights/cybersecurity/security-bulletins/PXM-Advisory.pdf https://github.com/BrianWGray/msf/blob/master/exploits/linux/ssh/eaton_known_privkey.rb https://www.ctrlu.net/vuln/0006.html https://www.eaton.com/content/dam/eaton/company/news-insights/cybersecurity/security-bulletins/PXM-Advisory.pdf • CWE-798: Use of Hard-coded Credentials •
