FKIE_CVE-2019-19753

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2024-04-30 18:15 - Updated: 2026-06-17 02:27
Severity
9.1 (Critical) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N
Summary
SimpleMiningOS through v1259 ships with SSH host keys baked into the installation image, which allows man-in-the-middle attacks and makes identification of all public IPv4 nodes trivial with Shodan.io. NOTE: the vendor indicated that they have no plans to fix this, and discourage deployment using public IPv4.
