Description

SSH.NET is a Secure Shell (SSH) library for .NET. In 2025.1.0 and earlier, ScpClient.Download(string directoryName, DirectoryInfo directoryInfo) trusts file and directory names returned by a remote SCP server and combines them with the requested local directory without containment validation, allowing a malicious, compromised, or man-in-the-middle server to use ../ sequences or absolute paths to create or overwrite files anywhere writable by the client process. This issue is fixed in version 2026.0.0.
