You’re joking right? It’s “allow ssh as root with a publicly available ssh key”. Your version is making it sound mundane.
If it was a genuine "backdoor" why would you want use a publicly available key?

#12Re: Cisco Nexus 9000 Switches Allow SSH As Root
#13This is a pretty egregiously editorialized title; what we know is that there's apparently an SSH keypair authorized on these devices, for which the private key is available on the device. That's a terrible, ugly vulnerability, but it's as likely due to stupidity as to malice. The right title is something like: CVS-2019-1804: Cisco Nexus 9000 Switches Allow SSH As Root.
