# Unpatched Tailscale SSH Flaws Let a Hacked Device Gain Root on Other Servers

Researchers disclosed unpatched vulnerabilities in Tailscale's SSH feature that could allow an attacker who has already compromised one device to escalate to root on other servers in the same network.

Users are advised to restrict SSH access and watch for patches.
