CVE-2020-15778 HIGH

Published: 2020-07-24 | Last Modified: 2025-07-28 | Status: Undergoing Analysis

Description

scp in OpenSSH through 8.3p1 allows command injection in the scp.c toremote function, as demonstrated by backtick characters in the destination argument. NOTE: the vendor reportedly has stated that they intentionally omit validation of "anomalous argument transfers" because that could "stand a great chance of breaking existing workflows."
