CVE-2026-102643
Last modified
CVE-2026-102643 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.8/10 on the CVSS scale. AsyncSSH is a Python package which provides an asynchronous client and server implementation of the SSHv2 protocol on top of the Python asyncio framework. Prior to 2.24.1, SFTPServer.map_path() uses posixpath.normpath() on a client-supplied path and removes only one leading slash before passing the result to posixpath.join() with the configured chroot. EPSS estimates a 0.84% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
Description
AsyncSSH is a Python package which provides an asynchronous client and server implementation of the SSHv2 protocol on top of the Python asyncio framework. Prior to 2.24.1, SFTPServer.map_path() uses posixpath.normpath() on a client-supplied path and removes only one leading slash before passing the result to posixpath.join() with the configured chroot. An authenticated SFTP user can supply a path beginning with exactly two slash characters, causing POSIX normalization to preserve the double-leading-slash form and the subsequent join to treat the remaining pathname as absolute. This bypasses the SFTP chroot and permits reads and writes with the operating-system permissions of the account running the server, which may enable code execution depending on writable targets. This issue is fixed in version 2.24.1.
