ssh2 is client and server modules written in pure JavaScript for node.js. In ssh2 before version 1.4.0 there is a command injection vulnerability. The issue only exists on Windows. This issue may lead to remote code execution if a client of the library calls the vulnerable method with untrusted input. This is fixed in version 1.4.0.

Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote

→Vulnerability exists only on Windows platforms in the ssh2 Node.js library before version 1.4.0; detection should focus on Windows hosts running vulnerable ssh2 versions ↗
→Flag use of ssh2 npm package versions prior to 1.4.0 on Windows nodes, particularly in OpenShift/NooBaa deployments ↗
→Monitor noobaa-core-container in Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation 4 environments for exploitation attempts, as it is a confirmed affected package ↗

·Exploitation is Windows-only; Linux/macOS deployments of ssh2 are not affected by this command injection vector ↗
·The vulnerability is triggered only when a caller passes untrusted input to the specific vulnerable method; safe/trusted input usage is not exploitable ↗
