prior to 29.0.3. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - Observable Response Discrepancy vulnerability in Erlang OTP ssh (ssh_sftpd module) allows an authenticated
    SFTP user to enumerate the existence of files and directories outside the configured root directory.
    (CVE-2026-53422)

  - Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop') vulnerability in Erlang OTP ssh (ssh_sftpd module)
    allows an authenticated SFTP user to render an SFTP channel permanently unresponsive. (CVE-2026-54886)

  - Improper Enforcement of Message Integrity During Transmission in a Communication Channel vulnerability in
    Erlang/OTP ssl (tls_gen_connection module) allows a network-positioned attacker to inject unauthenticated
    plaintext that the TLS client application later treats as authenticated server data. (CVE-2026-54891)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
