{"cve":"CVE-2019-14889","nvd":{"published":"2019-12-10T23:15:10.580","modified":"2026-06-17T02:19:15.087","status":"Modified","description":"A flaw was found with the libssh API function ssh_scp_new() in versions before 0.9.3 and before 0.8.8. When the libssh SCP client connects to a server, the scp command, which includes a user-provided path, is executed on the server-side. In case the library is used in a way where users can influence the third parameter of the function, it would become possible for an attacker to inject arbitrary commands, leading to a compromise of the remote target.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":8.8},"cwes":["CWE-78"],"references":["http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2019-12/msg00033.html","http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2020-01/msg00047.html","https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2019-14889","https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2019/12/msg00020.html","https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2023/05/msg00029.html"],"products":["canonical:ubuntu_linux","debian:debian_linux","fedoraproject:fedora","libssh:libssh","opensuse:leap","oracle:mysql_workbench"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T20:59:27.069234358+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2019-14889","score":0.03174,"percentile":0.88046,"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).
