What is CVE-2012-2441?

The Rugged Operating System (ROS) by RuggedCom contains a backdoor due to a factory account associated with a password that can be easily derived from the hardware's MAC address. This exposure enables remote attackers to gain unauthorized access through calculated SSH or HTTPS sessions. Such vulnerabilities put critical infrastructure at risk, particularly in sectors like power and traffic control where ROS is commonly deployed. Prompt updates and rigorous security practices are essential to mitigate potential exploitation.
