AI-suggested

Upgrade AsyncSSH to version 2.24.1 or later, where the vulnerability is fixed. No other mitigations are indicated by the vendor advisory.

Description

AsyncSSH versions prior to 2.24.1 contain a path traversal vulnerability in the SFTPServer.map_path() function. This flaw allows an authenticated SFTP user to bypass the configured chroot by supplying a path with exactly two leading slashes, enabling access to the filesystem outside the intended directory. The vulnerability permits read and write operations with the server's operating system permissions, potentially leading to code execution. The issue is fixed in version 2.24.1.
