Submit #798525: tufantunc ssh-mcp 1.5 Information Exposure Through Server Log Filesinfo

Titletufantunc ssh-mcp 1.5 Information Exposure Through Server Log Files
DescriptionA local information exposure issue exists in ssh-mcp where SSH credentials are accepted via command-line (it is the only way to pass credentials) options (--password, --sudoPassword, --suPassword). Because process arguments are readable by unprivileged local users (via ps or /proc/<pid>/cmdline on Linux, even low privilege), any attacker on the same host can directly recover plaintext passwords from the running process command-line string. This leads to credential leakage and violates secure handling of sensitive secrets in service startup parameters.
