The two flaws, called MikroTrick, include an authentication bypass and a session privilege-manipulation issue, each rated 9.2 CVSS. CERT Poland said exploitation has occurred since at least September 2. Shadowserver found more than 120,000 MikroTik devices with internet-accessible SSH during a September 5 scan window.
