CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

The vulnerability allows path traversal in the sshd-scp component of Apache MINA SSHD, enabling a malicious sender to exploit filename validation issues in SCP commands, potentially leading to unauthorized file writing in attacker-controlled locations. This impacts applications utilizing unsupported versions of Apache MINA SSHD prior to 2.0.0, as well as those using the sshd-scp component in versions 2.0.0 and above. Organizations using these affected versions should prioritize upgrading to Apache MINA 2.19.0 or 3.0.0-M5 to mitigate the risk.

Original NVD Description

Path traversal in the sshd-scp component of Apache MINA SSHD. Apache MINA SSHD is a Java library for client-side and server-side SSH. The implementation of receiving files or directories via SCP did not validate filenames in SCP "C" or "D" commands. A malicious sender could send filenames containing paths, resulting in files to be written in attacker-controlled places. The issue affects only * applications that use no longer supported Apache MINA SSHD versions < 2.0.0 and use the SCP functions to receive files, * or applications using sshd-scp in Apache MINA SSHD >= 2.0.0 to receive files. Applications using Apache MINA SSHD >= 2.0.0 not using sshd-scp are not affected. The issue is fixed in Apache MINA 2.19.0 and 3.0.0-M5. Affected applications are advised to upgrade to these versions.
