CVE-2020-25619
An attacker can leverage an SSH feature (port forwarding with a temporary key pair) to access network services on the 127.0.0.1 interface, even though this feature was only intended for user-to-agent communication.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.45%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

An attacker can leverage an SSH feature (port forwarding with a temporary key pair) to access network services on the 127.0.0.1 interface, even though this feature was only intended for user-to-agent communication.
