Descriptions

Aria Operations for Networks contains an Authentication Bypass vulnerability due to a lack of unique cryptographic key generation. A malicious actor with network access to Aria Operations for Networks could bypass SSH authentication to gain access to the Aria Operations for Networks CLI.

VMWare Aria Operations for Networks (vRealize Network Insight) versions 6.0.0 through 6.10.0 do not randomize the SSH keys on virtual machine initialization. Since the key is easily retrievable, an attacker can use it to gain unauthorized remote access as the "support" (root) user.
