NOTE: it could be argued that in most environments, this does not cross privilege boundaries without requiring leverage of a separate vulnerability.","published":"2004-12-31T05:00:00.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-16T22:10:18.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"cve@mitre.org","cvss":{"version":"2.0","score":6.8,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P"},"cwe":["CWE-16"],"affected":["openbsd/openssh"],"epss":{"score":0.08665,"percentile":0.95082,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (8.67%).
