CVE-2025-60892 Details
Description
An issue in Raspberry Pi Imager version 1.9.6 for Windows, affecting its OS customization feature. The imager's 'public-key authentication' setting unintentionally re-adds a user's id_rsa.pub key from their local Windows machine to the authorized_keys file on the Raspberry Pi, even after the user explicitly deletes the key from the user interface. This creates an unintended attack surface, as it could allow an attacker to use a different key than the intended one to login to the device.
A vulnerability exists in Raspberry Pi Imager version 1.9.6 for Windows, specifically within the OS customization feature. The issue arises when the 'public-key authentication' option is enabled. Despite users being able to delete the automatically added id_rsa.pub key from the interface, the imager reverts this change by restoring the key to the authorized_keys file on the Raspberry Pi. This flaw could potentially allow unauthorized access if an attacker exploits the situation by using a different key to log into the device.
Users can update to Raspberry Pi Imager version 2.0.0-rc3, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
