What to do

AI-suggested

To mitigate CVE-2024-28812, organizations should immediately restrict access to the local management network interface of the Infinera hiT 7300 appliances to trusted personnel and systems only, using network segmentation and strict firewall rules. Disable or isolate the management network from untrusted networks, including the internet, to prevent unauthorized access. Monitor network traffic for unusual SSH connection attempts to the device. Implement multi-factor authentication and strong access controls on all management interfaces where possible. Conduct regular audits of device configurations and logs to detect suspicious activity. Consider deploying intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS) focused on management network traffic. Plan for rapid incident response in case of compromise, including device replacement or reimaging. Finally, maintain up-to-date asset inventories to identify all affected devices and prioritize remediation efforts accordingly.

Description

An issue was discovered in Infinera hiT 7300 5.60.50. A hidden SSH service (on the local management network interface) with hardcoded credentials allows attackers to access the appliance operating system (with highest privileges) via an SSH connection.
