DescriptionCVE.org

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. …
