info:
  name: Erlang/OTP SSH - Remote Code Execution
  author: iamnoooob,rootxharsh,pdresearch,darses
  severity: critical
  description: |
    Erlang/OTP is a set of libraries for the Erlang programming language. Prior to versions OTP-27.3.3, OTP-26.2.5.11, and OTP-25.3.2.20, 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.
  impact: |
    Unauthenticated attackers can execute arbitrary code or commands through specially crafted SSH protocol requests to the fgfmd daemon on Erlang/OTP SSH servers.
  remediation: |
    This issue is patched in versions OTP-27.3.3, OTP-26.2.5.11, and OTP-25.3.2.20. A temporary workaround involves disabling the SSH server or to prevent access via firewall rules.
