CVE-2019-19753: Stupidthings.net Simpleminingos

Critical severity, CVSS 9.1. EPSS: 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

SimpleMiningOS through v1259 ships with SSH host keys baked into the installation image, which allows man-in-the-middle attacks and makes identification of all public IPv4 nodes trivial with Shodan.io. NOTE: the vendor indicated that they have no plans to fix this, and discourage deployment using public IPv4.

Affected products
