CVE-2026-39828 Details
Description
When an SSH server authentication callback returned PartialSuccessError with non-nil Permissions, those permissions were silently discarded, potentially dropping certificate restrictions such as force-command after a second factor succeeded. Returning non-nil Permissions with PartialSuccessError now results in a connection error.
A vulnerability exists in the Go SSH package, specifically in versions prior to v0.52.0, within the golang.org/x/crypto module. The issue arises when an SSH server authentication callback returns a PartialSuccessError with non-nil Permissions. In such cases, the Permissions are silently ignored, which could inadvertently remove important certificate restrictions, like force-command, after a second authentication factor is completed. This flaw allows for a bypass of certificate enforcement, potentially leading to unauthorized command execution. The updated handling now generates a connection error when non-nil Permissions are returned with PartialSuccessError, addressing the previous oversight.
Users can update to Go version v0.52.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
