CVE-2025-67304 — In Ruckus Network Director (RND) < 4.5.0.54, the OVA appliance contains hardcoded credentials for the ruckus PostgreSQL database user

Critical CVSS 9.8

In Ruckus Network Director (RND) < 4.5.0.54, the OVA appliance contains hardcoded credentials for the ruckus PostgreSQL database user. In the default configuration, the PostgreSQL service is accessible over the network on TCP port 5432. An attacker can use the hardcoded credentials to authenticate remotely, gaining superuser access to the database. This allows creation of administrative users for the web interface, extraction of password hashes, and execution of arbitrary OS commands.

Authentication bypass and missing authentication

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Map every affected endpoint and protocol path, including alternate ports, legacy routes, recovery flows, service accounts, and machine-to-machine access.
  • Confirm which deployments enable the affected authentication mode and whether the interface is reachable from untrusted networks.
  • Review session, token, credential, and proxy trust configuration without attempting account takeover.

Remediate safely

  • Apply the supported fix and centralize fail-closed authentication before protected request handling.
  • Remove default or embedded credentials, rotate affected secrets and sessions, and bind authentication decisions to the intended audience and channel.
  • Add negative tests for alternate routes, malformed or absent credentials, recovery flows, and proxy-derived identity.
