NewStart CGSL MAIN 7.02 : openssh Multiple Vulnerabilities (NS-SA-2026-0036)

low Nessus Plugin ID 304047

Synopsis

The remote NewStart CGSL host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 7.02, has openssh packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

 - ssh in OpenSSH before 10.1 allows the '\0' character in an ssh:// URI, potentially leading to code execution when a ProxyCommand is used. (CVE-2025-61985)

 - ssh in OpenSSH before 10.1 allows control characters in usernames that originate from certain possibly untrusted sources, potentially leading to code execution when a ProxyCommand is used. The untrusted sources are the command line and %-sequence expansion of a configuration file. (A configuration file that provides a complete literal username is not categorized as an untrusted source.) (CVE-2025-61984)

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

Solution

Upgrade the vulnerable CGSL openssh packages. Note that updated packages may not be available yet. Please contact ZTE for more information.
