MITM network positioning elevates AC to H; missing host key verification enables both data interception (C:L) and content injection (I:L).

DescriptionCVE.org

Dulwich through 1.1.0 was found to be missing SSH host key verification in contrib/paramiko_vendor.py.

AnalysisAI

Missing SSH host key verification in Dulwich's paramiko vendor module exposes SSH connections to man-in-the-middle interception. The contrib/paramiko_vendor.py module used paramiko's MissingHostKeyPolicy, which silently accepts any server host key without checking it against known_hosts, allowing a network-positioned attacker to impersonate a legitimate SSH Git server. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires: (1) the target application must use Dulwich's contrib/paramiko_vendor.py SSH transport (ParamikoSSHVendor) - this is not the default transport and must be explicitly configured; (2) the attacker must be network-positioned to intercept and proxy TCP connections between the Dulwich client and the SSH server (on-path MITM). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The provided CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N, score 5.3) likely overstates ease of exploitation because AC:L does not adequately capture the network positioning required for a MITM attack. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker with network access between a developer's workstation and the SSH Git server - for example, via ARP poisoning on a shared network segment or a rogue DNS response - intercepts the SSH handshake initiated by Dulwich and presents a fraudulent server key. Because Dulwich's paramiko vendor previously accepted any key without verification, the connection succeeds against the attacker's proxy, allowing credential theft (SSH passwords, git push/pull data) or injection of malicious repository content. …
Remediation The upstream fix is available in GitHub pull request #2123 (https://github.com/jelmer/dulwich/pull/2123), which replaces the permissive MissingHostKeyPolicy with RejectPolicy and adds proper known_hosts loading. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
