Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 09, 2026
Argument injection in bosh-cli versions before v7.10.4 lets a compromised or malicious BOSH Director inject arbitrary OpenSSH command-line options into the ssh process that the CLI spawns locally, achieving code execution on the operator's own workstation. It triggers during non-interactive SSH paths such as bosh ssh -c, bosh logs -f, and similar flows where the CLI builds an ssh command from Director-supplied data. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis, and it is not listed in CISA KEV; the CVSS 4.0 base score is 7.7 (High).

Lifecycle Timeline
1DescriptionCVE.org
Argument Injection in bosh-cli allows a compromised BOSH Director to inject arbitrary OpenSSH options into the locally-spawned ssh process when an operator runs bosh ssh -c, bosh logs -f, or other non-interactive SSH paths, leading to local command execution on the operator's workstation. Affected versions: bosh-cli versions prior to v7.10.4.
Executive ViewAI
BOSH CLI before version 7.10.4 allows remote code execution on an operator's workstation when connecting to a compromised BOSH Director. This affects infrastructure and DevOps teams managing Cloud Foundry deployments, giving attackers direct control over machines that manage critical cloud environments. Organizations should immediately inventory affected systems and upgrade to the patched version.
24 hours: Audit all systems running bosh-cli and document current versions. 7 days: Upgrade all instances to bosh-cli v7.10.4 or later. 30 days: Confirm patching completion across infrastructure teams and implement network restrictions on BOSH Director connectivity.
Apply vendor patch: upgrade bosh-cli to version 7.10.4 or later.
