Descriptions

transport.py in the SSH server implementation of Paramiko before 1.17.6, 1.18.x before 1.18.5, 2.0.x before 2.0.8, 2.1.x before 2.1.5, 2.2.x before 2.2.3, 2.3.x before 2.3.2, and 2.4.x before 2.4.1 does not properly check whether authentication is completed before processing other requests, as demonstrated by channel-open. A customized SSH client can simply skip the authentication step.

transport.py en la implementación del servidor SSH de Paramiko, en versiones anteriores a la 1.17.6; versiones 1.18.x anteriores a la 1.18.5; versiones 2.0.x anteriores a la 2.0.8; versiones 2.1.x anteriores a la 2.1.5; versiones 2.2.x anteriores a la 2.2.3; versiones 2.3.x anteriores a la 2.3.2 y versiones 2.4.x anteriores a la 2.4.1, no comprueba adecuadamente si la autenticación se ha completado antes de procesar otras peticiones, tal y como demuestra channel-open. Un cliente SSH personalizado puede simplemente omitir el paso de autenticación.

It was found that when acting as an SSH server, paramiko did not properly check whether authentication is completed before processing other requests. A customized SSH client could use this to bypass authentication when accessing any resources controlled by paramiko.

Nutanix AOS and Prism suffer from an SFTP authentication bypass vulnerability.
