CVE-2025-53963
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
An issue was discovered on Thermo Fisher Ion Torrent OneTouch 2 INS1005527 devices. They run an SSH server accessible over the default port 22. The root account has a weak default password of ionadmin, and a password change policy for the root account is not enforced. Thus, an attacker with network connectivity can achieve root code execution. NOTE: This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer.

"value": "Un problema fue descubierto en dispositivos Thermo Fisher Ion Torrent OneTouch 2 INS1005527. Ejecutan un servidor SSH accesible a través del puerto predeterminado 22. La cuenta root tiene una contraseña predeterminada débil de ionadmin, y una política de cambio de contraseña para la cuenta root no se aplica. Por lo tanto, un atacante con conectividad de red puede lograr la ejecución de código root. NOTA: Esta vulnerabilidad solo afecta a productos que ya no son compatibles con el mantenedor."
