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
