Vulnerability discussion

SSH Version 1 is a protocol that has never been defined in a standard. Since SSH-1 has inherent design flaws which make it vulnerable to, e.g., man-in-the-middle attacks, it is now generally considered obsolete and should be avoided by explicitly disabling fallback to SSH-1.

Check content

If SSH is used for administrative access, then Version 2 must be configured as shown in the following example: system { services { ssh { protocol-version v2; } } }

Fix text

Configure the network device to use SSH version 2.
