Description

CVE-2026-93995 is an improper input validation vulnerability in Apache MINA SSHD's sshd-git component, affecting versions up to 2.19.0 and 3.0.0-M1 through 3.0.0-M5. The flaw allows authenticated SSH clients to remotely execute git commands with insufficient restrictions on the 'git archive' command's '-o' option, potentially leading to unauthorized file writes on the server. This issue was a follow-up to CVE-2026-58624, where the previous fix did not fully address the single-argument '-o=file.zip' usage. The vulnerability is fixed in versions 2.20.0 and 3.0.0-M6.
