CVE-2025-26818Network attack vector

Authenticated code execution via malformed SSH application

Published Apr 3, 2025 · Updated Apr 4, 2025

Code injection in Netwrix Password Secure 9.2.1 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute code on SSH targets. Netwrix identifies the malformed SSH application as the trigger but has not published the field or processing operation that injects the code. Remote authenticated users need permission to create SSH applications, and a target user must open the crafted entry before code runs on the SSH target.
