Ruckus Networks Chaos: 9 Vulnerabilities Open Doors for Network Mayhem
Ruckus Wireless Virtual SmartZone and Network Director products have more holes than a slice of Swiss cheese. With vulnerabilities from authentication bypass to remote code execution, attackers could waltz right in. CERT/CC is waving flags, but Ruckus is giving the silent treatment. Time to put those networks on lockdown!

Hot Take:
It appears that Ruckus Networks’ security team might need a little less “ruckus” and a lot more “focus.” With security vulnerabilities this widespread, attackers could have access to your network faster than a kid opening presents on Christmas morning. Maybe it’s time for Ruckus to change their name to “Ruckus and Mayhem” because their network products are apparently hosting a party for cybercriminals – and everyone’s invited!
Key Points:
- Ruckus Networks’ vSZ and RND products are riddled with nine critical vulnerabilities.
- Flaws include hardcoded secrets, authentication bypass, and remote code execution.
- Vulnerabilities could lead to total compromise of managed environments.
- Attempts to reach Ruckus or Commscope for comments have gone unanswered.
- Users are advised to isolate vulnerable products within separate networks.
