Fedora 44 : opkssh (2026-a0bf40ecfe)

high Nessus Plugin ID 330252

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Fedora 44 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the FEDORA-2026-a0bf40ecfe advisory.

 Update to 0.16.0.

 This release includes a security fix for GQ-commitment PK Tokens (upgrades the openpubkey dependency to v0.25.0), addressing a vulnerability affecting GitLab-CI GQ-commitment PK Tokens. Note that opkssh currently only supports GitLab user OP (not GitLab-CI), so the vulnerable code path is not reachable through opkssh; severity is set low accordingly. Also drops the now-obsolete go-jose dependency_overrides pin, since upstream now requires go-jose v4.1.4 natively.

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

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

Solution

Update the affected opkssh package.
