Evidence used

  • No CISA KEV confirmation is currently recorded.
  • EPSS is 0.78% for the current model date.

Compensating controls

  • Restrict the affected network interface to trusted sources where business-safe.
  • Monitor vendor guidance and exploitation sources for a material change.

Verification

  1. Confirm that the asset runs Apache Software Foundation Apache MINA SSHD and falls inside the recorded affected range.
  2. Recheck the vendor advisory before scheduling a change because no verified fixed version is currently retained.
  3. Validate exposure, authentication requirements and compensating controls in the actual environment.
  4. Reopen this reassessment when CVSS, KEV, EPSS, exploit evidence or remediation changes.
Mitigation target: Within 30 daysRemediation target: Within 180 days

This automated reassessment organises public evidence. It does not know asset exposure, business impact or control effectiveness and does not replace CVSS or a human risk decision.

Distribution package intelligence

Release-specific package status

Debian, ubuntu findings are scoped to the named distribution, release and source package. An absent finding does not mean a package is unaffected.

5 package states
Repository candidate not checked

A published vendor fix does not prove that a matching update is enabled and installable on a particular asset. Confirm the local package candidate before scheduling remediation.

01

What, why and how

Path traversal vulnerability in Apache MINA SSHD bundle sshd-git. Lack of path validation in git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack, and other git operations allows users authenticated over SSH access to git repositories outside the configured git server root directory. Applications are affected if they use org.apache.sshd:sshd-git. Applications not using sshd-git are not affected. Users are advised to upgrade affected applications to Apche MINA SSHD 2.18.0, which fixes the issue. The issue also is present in the pre-release milestones 3.0.0-M1 to 3.0.0-M3 for a new upcoming new major version 3.0.0. Again, applications are affected only if they use sshd-git. Upgrade affected applications to 3.0.0-M4. We would like to point out that a professional git server should not rely solely on file system layout and permissions, but should implement additional security controls to govern access to git repositories and operations allowed on particular git repositories.

We would like to point out that a professional git server should not rely solely on file system layout and permissions, but should implement additional security controls to govern access to git repositories and operations allowed on particular git repositories.

Why

Attacker-controlled path data is not constrained to the intended directory before the application accesses a file.

How

An attacker operating through a network path may attempt exploitation with low privileges. If successful, the issue may cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor.

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
No confirmed evidence

No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.

Public PoC / exploit material
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
None recorded

No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.

Likely attack path
a network path → Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') → cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor
Attack surface
Network
Privileges required
Low: a basic authenticated account is required
User interaction
None
Attack complexity
Low: no specialised conditions are recorded
Security boundary
Unchanged: impact remains within the vulnerable component's security authority
Weakness
?CWE means Common Weakness Enumeration: a standard category for the underlying weakness.
CWE-22 ↗

CWE-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal'). 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.

CVSS vector
?CVSS means Common Vulnerability Scoring System. The vector records the metric values used to calculate technical severity.
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N

Common Vulnerability Scoring System 3.1: the compact vector below is decoded into plain language.

AVNetworkAttack vector: The vulnerable component can be reached over a network.ACLowAttack complexity: No specialised conditions are required beyond attacker-controlled input.PRLowPrivileges required: The attacker needs basic user-level privileges.UINoneUser interaction: No action by another user is required.SUnchangedScope: The security impact remains within the vulnerable component's authority.CHighConfidentiality impact: A successful attack can cause a major loss.ILowIntegrity impact: A successful attack can cause a limited loss.ANoneAvailability impact: No direct loss is represented by this metric.
Post-exploitation / living off the land
No specific living-off-the-land technique is confirmed in the structured sources. Monitor normal administration tools for activity inconsistent with the affected service's baseline.

Apache MINA SSHD コンポーネント sshd-git における Windows 上でのパストラバーサルの脆弱性です。Apache MINA SSHD はクライアント側およびサーバー側の SSH 用 Java ライブラリです。Windows 上で動作する Apache MINA SSHD コンポーネント sshd-git を使用して実装された git サーバーは、認証されたリモートユーザーに対して、設定されたサーバー側ルートディレクトリ外の git リポジトリへのアクセスを許可してしまう可能性があります。Apache MINA SSHD 2.18.0 および 3.0.0-M4 にて CVE-2026-48827 に対して適用されたパス検証は、Windows 上で動作するサーバーには部分的にしか効果がありませんでした。org.apache.sshd:sshd-git を使用して git サーバーを実装し、Windows 上で動作しているアプリケーションが影響を受けます。sshd-git を使用していない、または Windows 上で動作していないアプリケーションには影響がありません。ユーザーは、この問題を修正した Apache MINA SSHD 2.19.0 へアップグレードすることを推奨されます。この問題は、新しいメジャーバージョン 3.0.0 のリリース前マイルストーン 3.0.0-M1 から 3.0.0-M4 にも存在しています。再度申し上げますと、sshd-git を使用し Windows 上で動作しているアプリケーションのみが影響を受けます。影響を受けるアプリケーションは 3.0.0-M5 へアップグレードしてください。

Apache MINA SSHD バンドルの sshd-git におけるパス・トラバーサルの脆弱性です。git-upload-pack、git-receive-pack およびその他の git 操作においてパス検証が欠如しているため、SSH 経由で認証されたユーザーが設定された git サーバールートディレクトリ外の git リポジトリにアクセスできてしまいます。org.apache.sshd:sshd-git を使用しているアプリケーションが影響を受けますが、sshd-git を使用していないアプリケーションは影響を受けません。影響を受けるアプリケーションは、この問題を修正した Apache MINA SSHD 2.18.0 へのアップグレードが推奨されます。この問題は、新しいメジャーバージョン 3.0.0 のプレリリース段階（3.0.0-M1 から 3.0.0-M3）にも存在します。ここでも sshd-git を使用している場合のみ影響を受けるため、影響を受けるアプリケーションは 3.0.0-M4 へアップグレードしてください。なお、プロフェッショナルな git サーバーはファイルシステムのレイアウトや権限のみに依存すべきではなく、git リポジトリや特定の git 操作へのアクセスを管理する追加のセキュリティ制御を実装する必要があることを指摘します。
