CVE-2023-51385

6.5 medium exploit ×23 SSVC exploitation: poc Modified

In ssh in OpenSSH before 9.6, OS command injection might occur if a user name or host name has shell metacharacters, and this name is referenced by an expansion token in certain situations. For example, an untrusted Git repository can have a submodule with shell metacharacters in a user name or host name.

Fix

Public exploits 23
