Description#

The configuration allows creation of DigitalOcean droplets without specifying SSH keys, defaulting to less secure password-based authentication. This increases the risk of unauthorized access due to weaker credentials.

Impact#

Attackers may more easily compromise droplets via brute-force or stolen passwords, leading to potential server takeover, data loss, or use of the server for malicious activities.

Resolution#

Use ssh keys for login
