RemediationAI
Within 24 hours: identify all systems running OpenSSH versions prior to 10.3p1 using vulnerability scanning or package inventory tools; prioritize systems where legacy scp (-O flag) is enabled or root file transfers occur. Within 7 days: upgrade affected OpenSSH installations to version 10.3p1 or later on all identified systems; test upgrades in non-production environments first. …
