Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, has been found in n software IPWorks SSH SFTPServer. This issue affects an unknown function. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a weak authentication vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-1390. The product uses an authentication mechanism to restrict access to specific users or identities, but the mechanism does not sufficiently prove that the claimed identity is correct. Impacted is confidentiality. The summary by CVE is:

The /n software IPWorks SSH library SFTPServer component can be induced to make unintended filesystem or network path requests when loading a SSH public key or certificate. To be exploitable, an application calling the SFTPServer component must grant user access without verifying the SSH public key or certificate (which would most likely be a separate vulnerability in the calling application). IPWorks SSH versions 22.0.8945 and 24.0.8945 were released to address this condition by blocking all filesystem and network path requests for SSH public keys or certificates.

It is possible to read the advisory at nsoftware.com. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2024-6580 since 07/08/2024. The exploitation is known to be easy. The attack may be initiated remotely. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not publicly available.

Upgrading to version 22.0.8945 or 24.0.8945 eliminates this vulnerability.
