When performing local-to-local copying functions, scp expands shell characters in the filename twice before making a system() call. A filename that contains specially crafted characters may cause arbitrary commands to be executed. If scp is used to transfer untrusted files or directories, a local user may be able to cause arbitrary code to be executed with the privileges of the process running scp
