Description The issue concerns an undocumented factory backdoor that allows the vendor to extract confidential information and manipulate security-relevant configurations. This is achieved via remote root SSH access.

Recommendations For version 5.2.68, consider restricting remote SSH access to minimize the risk of exploitation until a fix is available. As a temporary workaround, limit the use of root SSH access to only necessary instances.
