A security vulnerability exists in Erlang/OTP prior to versions OTP-27.3.3, OTP-26.2.5.11, and OTP-25.3.2.20, where a SSH server may allow an attacker to perform unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE). By exploiting a flaw in SSH protocol message handling, a malicious actor could gain unauthorized access to affected systems and execute arbitrary commands without valid credentials.
This issue is patched in versions OTP-27.3.3, OTP-26.2.5.11, and OTP-25.3.2.20.
Mitigations
Update to OTP-27.3.3, OTP-26.2.5.11, or OTP-25.3.2.20.
Disable the SSH server if not required.
Use firewall rules to restrict access to the SSH server.
