SCA: security update for github.com/tg123/sshpiper (GHSA-4w53-6jvp-gg52)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 410432

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- sshpiper is a reverse proxy for sshd. Starting in version 1.0.50 and prior to version 1.3.0, the way the
proxy protocol listener is implemented in sshpiper can allow an attacker to forge their connecting
address. Commit 2ddd69876a1e1119059debc59fe869cb4e754430 added the proxy protocol listener as the only
listener in sshpiper, with no option to toggle this functionality off. This means that any connection that
sshpiper is directly (or in some cases indirectly) exposed to can use proxy protocol to forge its source
address. Any users of sshpiper who need logs from it for whitelisting/rate limiting/security
investigations could have them become much less useful if an attacker is sending a spoofed source address.
Version 1.3.0 contains a patch for the issue. (CVE-2024-35175)
