vulnerabilities:
- ssh in OpenSSH before 10.1 allows the '\0' character in an ssh:// URI, potentially leading to code
execution when a ProxyCommand is used. (CVE-2025-61985)
- ssh in OpenSSH before 10.1 allows control characters in usernames that originate from certain possibly
untrusted sources, potentially leading to code execution when a ProxyCommand is used. The untrusted
sources are the command line and %-sequence expansion of a configuration file. (A configuration file that
provides a complete literal username is not categorized as an untrusted source.) (CVE-2025-61984)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
