Last modified
CVE-2026-35387 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.5/10 on the CVSS scale. OpenSSH before 10.3 can use unintended ECDSA algorithms. Listing of any ECDSA algorithm in PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms or HostbasedAcceptedAlgorithms is misinterpreted to mean all ECDSA algorithms.. EPSS estimates a 0.24% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
