Due to the scp implementation being derived from 1983 rcp, the server chooses which files/directories are sent to the client. However, the scp client only performs cursory validation of the object name returned (only directory traversal attacks are prevented). A malicious scp server (or Man-in-The-Middle attacker) can overwrite arbitrary files in the scp client target directory. If recursive operation (-r) is performed, the server can manipulate subdirectories as well (for example, to overwrite the .ssh/authorized_keys file).","dueDate":"","id":"CVE-2019-6111","kev_catalogs":["vulncheck"],"knownRansomwareCampaignUse":"Known","product":"OpenSSH","requiredAction":"Apply remediations or mitigations per vendor instructions or discontinue use of the product if remediation or mitigations are unavailable.","severity":"MEDIUM","source":"vulncheck_kev","title":"OpenBSD OpenSSH Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory","vendor":"OpenBSD"}
