Summary

In OpenSSH before 10.3, command execution can occur via shell metacharacters in a username within a command line. This requires a scenario where the username on the command line is untrusted, and also requires a non-default configuration of % in ssh_config.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can remotely execute arbitrary commands on the server, leading to full system compromise.

Recommendation

Update OpenSSH to version 10.3 or later and avoid using untrusted usernames in command lines.
