Sandbox-loss is a defense-in-depth regression with no standalone effect, so AC:H (requires chaining) and PR:L; only limited integrity escape is plausible, hence C:N/I:L/A:N.

DescriptionCVE.org

In sshd in OpenSSH through 10.6, use of the macOS 27 (or later) SDK has the side effect of loss of sandboxing, which is potentially unexpected.

AnalysisAI

OpenSSH sshd builds compiled against the macOS 27 (or later) SDK silently lose their sandbox, removing a containment layer that normally limits the damage an attacker can do if they manage to compromise or corrupt the sshd process. Only OpenSSH through 10.6 built against that specific SDK is affected, which is far from the default configuration for Linux, BSD, or older-macOS deployments. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Applies only to sshd from OpenSSH 10.6 or earlier that is compiled against the macOS 27 (or later) SDK; on such builds the expected sandbox is silently not applied. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment This is a low-severity defense-in-depth regression, not a directly exploitable flaw. … 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 No vendor-released patch was identified at time of analysis, so the primary action is to rebuild OpenSSH sshd against a macOS SDK version earlier than 27 where the sandbox is applied as expected, or confirm with the upstream maintainers via the release notes at https://www.openssh.org/releasenotes.html#10.6 whether a corrected build or configuration is available before trusting the current binary. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Threat intelligence, references, and detailed analysis are available after sign-in.
