Description

ExaGrid ships a public/private key pair on their backup appliances to
allow passwordless authentication to other ExaGrid appliances. Since
the private key is easily retrievable, an attacker can use it to gain
unauthorized remote access as root. Additionally, this module will
attempt to use the default password for root, 'inflection'.
