CVE-2023-46446
Description
A flaw was found in python-synch before the 2.14.1 versions, where the client can log in to the attacker's account without the client being able to detect this. This flaw allows an attacker to control the remote end of the SSH session completely, resulting in a complete break of the confidentiality and integrity of the secure channel, which could cause more issues depending on the application logic implemented by the AsyncSSH server.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
