NewCVE-2026-59847 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
A fix was pushed into the master branch but not yet published.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature due to incorrect AES-GCM finalization checks in builds using the OpenSSL backend. An attacker can alter transmitted plaintext data without detection by exploiting the lack of proper integrity verification in the aes128-gcm@openssh.com and aes256-gcm@openssh.com ciphers.
Workaround
This vulnerability can be mitigated by disabling the aes128-gcm@openssh.com and aes256-gcm@openssh.com ciphers.
