CVE-2024-38029Network attack vector

Remote code execution

Published Oct 8, 2024 · Updated Aug 19, 2026

Remote code execution in Microsoft OpenSSH for Windows before 10.0.25398.1189 allows remote attackers to execute code after user interaction. Microsoft maps the issue to external control of a file name or path but has not disclosed the affected code locus or unsafe file-system operation. Exploitation requires network access, high-complexity conditions, and user interaction; success permits code execution on the server.
