transport.py in the SSH server implementation of Paramiko before 1.17.6, 1.18.x before 1.18.5, 2.0.x before 2.0.8, 2.1.x before 2.1.5, 2.2.x before 2.2.3, 2.3.x before 2.3.2, and 2.4.x before 2.4.1 does not properly check whether authentication is completed before processing other requests, as demonstrated by channel-open. A customized SSH client can simply skip the authentication step.

pathtransport.py
  • Monitor for unauthenticated SFTP channel-open requests on SSH servers using Paramiko's server-side implementation (paramiko.ServerInterface subclasses); legitimate clients should always complete authentication before opening channels.
  • Flag any SSH session where channel-open or SFTP subsystem requests are observed in server logs before any authentication success event for the same session.
  • ·This vulnerability only affects Paramiko when used in server-side mode (e.g., subclassing paramiko.ServerInterface). Client-only deployments are NOT vulnerable.
  • ·Affected version ranges: Paramiko before 1.17.6, 1.18.x before 1.18.5, 2.0.x before 2.0.8, 2.1.x before 2.1.5, 2.2.x before 2.2.3, 2.3.x before 2.3.2, and 2.4.x before 2.4.1.
  • ·Nutanix AOS & Prism versions below 5.5.5 (LTS) and 5.8.1 (STS) are specifically affected via their SFTP server component on port 2222.
