Use after free in OpenSSH for Windows allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code over a network.
AnalysisAI
Use-after-free in Microsoft's OpenSSH for Windows enables unauthenticated network attackers to achieve remote code execution across a broad range of Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server releases. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R) indicates exploitation is constrained by high attack complexity and a requirement for user interaction, consistent with a client-side attack path where a victim must connect to an attacker-controlled SSH endpoint. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The OpenSSH Client optional Windows feature must be installed on the target system (present by default on many Windows 11 and developer-configured Windows 10 installations). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The 7.5 CVSS base score reflects a real tension between full-compromise impact (C:H/I:H/A:H) and meaningful exploitation constraints (AC:H, UI:R). … 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 | Apply Microsoft's security updates via Windows Update, WSUS, or SCCM targeting the applicable Windows release. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server systems with OpenSSH installed to establish your organization's exposure scope. …
