Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in Apache MINA SSHD up to 2.17.0/3.0.0-M2. This affects an unknown code block of the component org.apache.sshd:sshd-git. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-22. The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

The advisory is shared at lists.apache.org. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2026-48827. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. Neither technical details nor an exploit are publicly available. The price for an exploit might be around USD $0-$5k at the moment (estimation calculated on 06/22/2026).
