CVE-2025-32433Erlang/OTP — secure shell server acts before sign-in

The secure shell (SSH) server in Erlang's standard libraries (OTP) before 27.3.3, 26.2.5.11 and 25.3.2.20 acts on protocol messages that should only come after sign-in, so an attacker runs commands with no credentials.

YOUR NEXT MOVE

Upgrade to 27.3.3, 26.2.5.11 or 25.3.2.20 now; exploitation is near certain, so treat any exposed Erlang service as already compromised.
