CVE-2026-109152 Details
Description
A security vulnerability has been detected in jbardin scp.py up to 0.16.1. The impacted element is the function _recv_file/_recv_pushd of the component SCP Receive Handler. The manipulation leads to path traversal. Remote exploitation of the attack is possible. Upgrading to version 0.16.2 is sufficient to resolve this issue. The identifier of the patch is 42fc3aaa71411daed60544e3b40179c1038bed5d. Upgrading the affected component is advised. The vendor was contacted early, responded in a very professional manner and quickly released a fixed version of the affected product.
A path traversal vulnerability has been identified in jbardin scp.py versions prior to 0.16.1. The issue arises in the SCP Receive Handler's _recv_file and _recv_pushd functions, where improper handling of server-controlled filenames allows for remote exploitation by writing files outside the intended directory.
Users are advised to upgrade to jbardin scp.py version 0.16.2, which addresses the path traversal vulnerability by implementing proper path sanitization. The updated version can be downloaded from the GitHub repository's release page.
