Apache · Apache Mina Sshd · CVE-2026-48827
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Apache MINA SSHD versions prior to 2.18.0
Apache MINA SSHD versions 3.0.0-M1 through 3.0.0-M3
**Description**
A path traversal issue exists in the `org.apache.sshd:sshd-git` bundle. Due to a lack of path validation in `git-upload-pack`, `git-receive-pack`, and other git operations, users authenticated over SSH can access git repositories located outside the configured git server root directory. Path traversal is a security flaw that allows an attacker to read or write files on the server outside of the intended folder by using special characters like dot-dot-slash (../).
**Recommendations**
Upgrade to version 2.18.0.
Upgrade to version 3.0.0-M4.
Implement additional security controls to govern access to git repositories and operations rather than relying solely on file system layout and permissions.
