description

Apache MINA SSHD sshd-core can incorrectly handle authentication in servers using its asynchronous authentication feature. An unauthenticated remote party may bypass public-key or host-based authentication checks or receive an incorrect authentication result when the application explicitly enables that feature for those methods.

mitigation

Upgrade org.apache.sshd:sshd-core to 2.20.0 or 3.0.0-M6. Until upgraded, do not use asynchronous authentication with public-key or host-based SSH authentication.

fixed in 2.20.0, 3.0.0-M6
