CVE-2026-102643
EUVD-2026-12050409.11.2026, 21:51
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.

Common Weakness Enumeration
- CWE-22 - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')The software uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the software does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory.
- CWE-50 - Path Equivalence: '//multiple/leading/slash'A software system that accepts path input in the form of multiple leading slash ('//multiple/leading/slash') without appropriate validation can lead to ambiguous path resolution and allow an attacker to traverse the file system to unintended locations or access arbitrary files.
