High CVSS 8.1
CVE-2026-56428
The SSH service on BSH ELP (Electronic Platform) modules contains a platform-specific vulnerability due to an improperly secured default configuration. An insecure, non-revocable SSH public key is included in the firmware's authorized_keys file for the root user. An attacker in possession of the corresponding private key could leverage it to bypass authentication and gain root-level access to the appliance.
What this means
- Exposure
- Exploitable remotely over the network, without authentication and with no action from the victim. The attack does require particular conditions, which makes it less systematic.
- Impact
- An attacker can read sensitive data, modify or destroy data and take the service offline.
- Likelihood
- Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
