NOTE: it could be argued that in most environments, this does not cross privilege boundaries without requiring leverage of a separate vulnerability.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":["CWE-16"],"references":["http://archive.cert.uni-stuttgart.de/bugtraq/2004/04/msg00162.html","http://securityreason.com/securityalert/4100","http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/360198","http://archive.cert.uni-stuttgart.de/bugtraq/2004/04/msg00162.html","http://securityreason.com/securityalert/4100"],"products":["openbsd:openssh"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T19:38:22.000386253+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2004-2760","score":0.08665,"percentile":0.95118,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
