AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N
SSH tunnel forwarding is network-delivered (AV:N), requires a provisioned restricted key (PR:L) and the specific 'restrict' configuration (AC:H); bypassing the restriction affects integrity only (I:L, C:N, A:N).

In sshd in OpenSSH before 10.6, the restrict keyword (in authorized_keys) was supposed to be applicable to tunnel forwarding but was not, a different vulnerability than CVE-2026-73283.
AnalysisAI
OpenSSH servers prior to 10.6 fail to enforce the 'restrict' keyword in authorized_keys against tunnel (tun/tap) forwarding, letting a user who already holds a restricted key open a forwarding tunnel that the administrator explicitly intended to block. This is a control-bypass rather than an access-control failure: the attacker must already possess a valid SSH key provisioned with 'restrict' (assessed CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N), and the flaw only matters on servers older than 10.6 where tunnel forwarding was the specific capability the keyword was relied on to deny. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Requires an attacker to already hold a valid SSH key whose authorized_keys entry uses the 'restrict' keyword, and that the administrator relied on 'restrict' to deny tunnel (tun/tap device) forwarding, on an OpenSSH server before version 10.6. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | This is a low-priority issue, and the available signals are consistent on that point. … 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 | Vendor-released patch: upgrade OpenSSH to version 10.6 or later, per the upstream release notes at https://www.openssh.org/releasenotes.html#10.6; this is the only complete fix because the defect is in sshd's handling of the 'restrict' keyword itself. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
