CVE-2025-61985 Details
Description
ssh in OpenSSH before 10.1 allows the '\0' character in an ssh:// URI, potentially leading to code execution when a ProxyCommand is used.
A vulnerability in OpenSSH versions prior to 10.1 allows the inclusion of the null character in ssh:// URIs. This could lead to code execution when a ProxyCommand is utilized, as it may enable the injection of shell commands that are executed when the proxy command is initiated.
Users should upgrade to OpenSSH 10.1 or later, where this vulnerability has been addressed.
