A malicious SCP server can send unexpected paths that could make the client application override local files outside of working directory. This could be misused to create malicious executable or configuration files and make the user execute them under specific consequences.
This is the same issue as in OpenSSH, tracked as CVE-2019-6111.
AnalysisAI
SCP client implementations across Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6-10 and OpenShift Container Platform 4 are vulnerable to path traversal during file transfer, allowing a malicious SCP server to write files outside the designated working directory and potentially execute arbitrary code or modify system configuration. This vulnerability mirrors CVE-2019-6111 in OpenSSH; unauthenticated remote attackers can exploit it with high user interaction (the victim must initiate an SCP connection to a malicious server), resulting in confidentiality, integrity, and availability compromise. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been confirmed at the time of analysis.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability is rooted in CWE-22 (Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory), a classic path traversal flaw in the Secure Copy Protocol (SCP) implementation. When an SCP server responds to a client file transfer request, it can embed directory traversal sequences (such as '../') in file paths; a vulnerable client will blindly accept these paths and write files outside the intended working directory without sanitization. The affected products span multiple Red Hat Enterprise Linux major versions (6, 7, 8, 9, and 10) plus OpenShift Container Platform 4, all identified via their respective CPE strings (cpe:2.3:a:red_hat:red_hat_enterprise_linux_*). The root cause is insufficient input validation of server-supplied paths before local file operations, allowing attackers to exploit the trust relationship between client and server.
RemediationAI
Apply Red Hat-released patches for affected RHEL versions (6, 7, 8, 9, and 10) and OpenShift Container Platform 4 by consulting the official advisory at https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-0964. Exact patched versions are not specified in currently available data; contact Red Hat support or monitor the advisory for version-specific updates. As an interim workaround pending patching, restrict SCP connections to trusted servers only by implementing firewall rules or SSH configuration policies (e.g., ProxyJump or bastion host requirements), disable SCP entirely if not required and use alternatives such as SFTP (which includes path validation), or conduct security awareness training to remind users not to initiate SCP transfers to untrusted or unexpected servers.
