Path traversal in the sshd-scp component of Apache MINA SSHD. Apache MINA SSHD is a Java library for client-side and server-side SSH. The implementation of receiving files or directories via SCP did not validate filenames in SCP "C" or "D" commands. A malicious sender could send filenames containing paths, resulting in files to be written in attacker-controlled places. The issue affects only * applications that use no longer supported Apache MINA SSHD versions < 2.0.0 and use the SCP functions to receive files, * or applications using sshd-scp in Apache MINA SSHD >= 2.0.0 to receive files. Applications using Apache MINA SSHD >= 2.0.0 not using sshd-scp are not affected. The issue is fixed in Apache MINA 2.19.0 and 3.0.0-M5. Affected applications are advised to upgrade to these versions.

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2026:3339-1 advisory.

    Update to upstream version 2.19.0.

    Security issues fixed:

    - CVE-2026-56452: remote users can use SCP to send filenames that lead to arbitrary file writes due to a     path traversal       issue in the `sshd-scp` component of Apache MINA SSHD. (bsc#1272158).
    - CVE-2026-56623: remote users can obtain access to git repositories outside of the configured server-side     root       directory on Windows systems due to path traversal issue in `org.apache.sshd:sshd-git` (bsc#1271993).
    - CVE-2026-56624: users can authenticate with certificates containing the `force-command` option but still     execute       other commands due to improper validation of certificate options in Apache MINA SSHD  (bsc#1271992).
    - CVE-2026-58624: remote execution of JGit commands can lead to arbitrary file writes due to improper     input validation       in `sshd-git` of Apache MINA SSHD (bsc#1271991).

    Other updates and bugfixes:

    - Version 2.19.0:
      * Bug Fixes
        - GH-899 Fix ProcessShellFactory on Linux.
        - GH-902 Fix client-side handling of sk-* public key signatures (also in the agent interfaces).
        - Limit size of decompressed SSH packets.
        - Improve checking SSH user certificates in public-key authentication.
        - Improve handling of repository paths in sshd-git on Windows.
        - Validate file names in SCP.
        - Escape newlines in filenames in the SCP protocol.
        - Restrict JGit commands accessible via GitPgmCommandFactory in sshd-git.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.
