GSSAPI must be enabled (non-default) and credentials recovered locally, so AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R; only residual credential exposure, hence C:L and I:N/A:N.

In sshd in OpenSSH before 10.6, credentials can incorrectly persist after failure of a GSSAPIAuthentication authentication attempt.
AnalysisAI
Credentials may persist in sshd after a failed GSSAPIAuthentication attempt in OpenSSH before 10.6, potentially leading to low-impact information disclosure. This issue requires GSSAPIAuthentication to be enabled (not the default), a local low-privilege attacker with an existing foothold, and user interaction; it cannot be exploited remotely or without authentication. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Requires that GSSAPIAuthentication be enabled in sshd_config (this is NOT the OpenSSH default, which is 'no'), a GSSAPIAuthentication attempt that fails, and the running OpenSSH version being before 10.6. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | All available signals point to a genuinely low-priority issue. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Upgrade to OpenSSH 10.6 or later; the release notes at https://www.openssh.org/releasenotes.html#10.6 document the fix. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
