- sshd in OpenSSH 6.2 through 8.x before 8.8, when certain non-default configurations are used, allows
privilege escalation because supplemental groups are not initialized as expected. Helper programs for
AuthorizedKeysCommand and AuthorizedPrincipalsCommand may run with privileges associated with group
memberships of the sshd process, if the configuration specifies running the command as a different user.
