Misuse of ServerConfig.PublicKeyCallback may cause authorization bypass in golang.org/x/crypto

CVE-2024-45337 / GHSA-v778-237x-gjrc

More information

Details

Applications and libraries which misuse the ServerConfig.PublicKeyCallback callback may be susceptible to an authorization bypass.

The documentation for ServerConfig.PublicKeyCallback says that "A call to this function does not guarantee that the key offered is in fact used to authenticate." Specifically, the SSH protocol allows clients to inquire about whether a public key is acceptable before proving control of the corresponding private key. PublicKeyCallback may be called with multiple keys, and the order in which the keys were provided cannot be used to infer which key the client successfully authenticated with, if any. Some applications, which store the key(s) passed to PublicKeyCallback (or derived information) and make security relevant determinations based on it once the connection is established, may make incorrect assumptions.

For example, an attacker may send public keys A and B, and then authenticate with A. PublicKeyCallback would be called only twice, first with A and then with B. A vulnerable application may then make authorization decisions based on key B for which the attacker does not actually control the private key.

Since this API is widely misused, as a partial mitigation golang.org/x/crypto@v0.31.0 enforces the property that, when successfully authenticating via public key, the last key passed to ServerConfig.PublicKeyCallback will be the key used to authenticate the connection. PublicKeyCallback will now be called multiple times with the same key, if necessary. Note that the client may still not control the last key passed to PublicKeyCallback if the connection is then authenticated with a different method, such as PasswordCallback, KeyboardInteractiveCallback, or NoClientAuth.

Users should be using the Extensions field of the Permissions return value from the various authentication callbacks to record data associated with the authentication attempt instead of referencing external state. Once the connection is established the state corresponding to the successful authentication attempt can be retrieved via the ServerConn.Permissions field. Note that some third-party libraries misuse the Permissions type by sharing it across authentication attempts; users of third-party libraries should refer to the relevant projects for guidance.

golang.org/x/crypto Vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS) via Slow or Incomplete Key Exchange

CVE-2025-22869 / GHSA-hcg3-q754-cr77

More information

Details

SSH servers which implement file transfer protocols are vulnerable to a denial of service attack from clients which complete the key exchange slowly, or not at all, causing pending content to be read into memory, but never transmitted.

golang.org/x/crypto/ssh allows an attacker to cause unbounded memory consumption

CVE-2025-58181 / GHSA-j5w8-q4qc-rx2x

More information

Details

SSH servers parsing GSSAPI authentication requests do not validate the number of mechanisms specified in the request, allowing an attacker to cause unbounded memory consumption.

Severity

golang.org/x/crypto/ssh/agent vulnerable to panic if message is malformed due to out of bounds read

CVE-2025-47914 / GHSA-f6x5-jh6r-wrfv

More information

Details

SSH Agent servers do not validate the size of messages when processing new identity requests, which may cause the program to panic if the message is malformed due to an out of bounds read.

Severity

golang.org/x/crypto vulnerable to invoking bypass of certificate restrictions

CVE-2026-39828 / GHSA-45gg-vh54-h5m9

More information

Details

When an SSH server authentication callback returned PartialSuccessError with non-nil Permissions, those permissions were silently discarded, potentially dropping certificate restrictions such as force-command after a second factor succeeded. Returning non-nil Permissions with PartialSuccessError now results in a connection error.

Severity

golang.org/x/crypto: Invoking VerifiedPublicKeyCallback permissions skip enforcement

CVE-2026-46595 / GHSA-x527-x647-q7gg

More information

Details

Previously, CVE-2024-45337 fixed an authorization bypass for misused ssh server configurations; if any other type of callback is passed other than public key, then the source-address validation would be skipped.

golang.org/x/crypto: FIDO/U2F security key physical presence check can be bypassed

CVE-2026-39831 / GHSA-89gr-r52h-f8rx

More information

Details

The Verify() method for FIDO/U2F security key types (sk-ecdsa-sha2-nistp256@​openssh.com, sk-ssh-ed25519@​openssh.com) did not check the User Presence flag. Signatures generated without physical touch were accepted, allowing unattended use of a hardware security key. To restore the previous behavior, return a "no-touch-required" extension in Permissions.Extensions from PublicKeyCallback.

CVE-2026-42508 / GHSA-5cgq-3rg8-m6cv

More information

golang.org/x/crypto is vulnerable to invoking server panic during CheckHostKey/Authenticate flow

CVE-2026-39835 / GHSA-78mq-xcr3-xm33

More information

Details

SSH servers which use CertChecker as a public key callback without setting IsUserAuthority or IsHostAuthority could be caused to panic by a client presenting a certificate. CertChecker now returns an error instead of panicking when these callbacks are nil.

Severity

golang.org/x/crypto doesn't drop invoking agent constraints when forwarding keys

CVE-2026-39832 / GHSA-f5wc-c3c7-36mc

More information

Details

When adding a key to a remote agent constraint extensions such as restrict-destination-v00@​openssh.com were not serialized in the request. Destination restrictions were silently stripped when forwarding keys, allowing unrestricted use of the key on the remote host. The client now serializes all constraint extensions. Additionally, the in-memory keyring returned by NewKeyring() now rejects keys with unsupported constraint extensions instead of silently ignoring them.

CVE-2026-46598 / GHSA-9m57-25v3-79x9

golang.org/x/crypto: Invoking pathological RSA/DSA parameters may cause DoS

CVE-2026-39829 / GHSA-w879-237q-wc7r

More information

Details

The RSA and DSA public key parsers did not enforce size limits on key parameters. A crafted public key with an excessively large modulus or DSA parameter could cause several minutes of CPU consumption during signature verification. This could be triggered by unauthenticated clients during public key authentication. RSA moduli are now limited to 8192 bits, and DSA parameters are validated per FIPS 186-2.

golang.org/x/crypto vulnerable to infinite loop on large channel writes

CVE-2026-39834 / GHSA-rm3j-f69w-wqmq

More information

Details

When writing data larger than 4GB in a single Write call on an SSH channel, an integer overflow in the internal payload size calculation caused the write loop to spin indefinitely, sending empty packets without making progress. The size comparison now uses int64 to prevent truncation.

golang.org/x/crypto: Invoking client can cause server deadlock on unexpected responses

CVE-2026-39830 / GHSA-vgwf-h737-ff37

More information

Details

A malicious SSH peer could send unsolicited global request responses to fill an internal buffer, blocking the connection's read loop. The blocked goroutine could not be released by calling Close(), resulting in a resource leak per connection. Unsolicited global responses are now discarded.

Severity

golang.org/x/crypto doesn't enforce invoking key constraints

CVE-2026-39833 / GHSA-jppx-rxg9-jmrx

More information

Details

The in-memory keyring returned by NewKeyring() silently accepted keys with the ConfirmBeforeUse constraint but never enforced it. The key would sign without any confirmation prompt, with no indication to the caller that the constraint was not in effect. NewKeyring() now returns an error when unsupported constraints are requested.

golang.org/x/crypto: Invoking memory leak when rejecting channels can lead to DoS

CVE-2026-39827 / GHSA-qpw4-5x99-6vjp

More information

Details

An authenticated SSH client that repeatedly opened channels which were rejected by the server caused unbounded memory growth, eventually crashing the server process and affecting all connected users. Rejected channels are now properly removed from the connection's internal state and released for garbage collection.
