Wish is an SSH server with defaults and a collection of middlewares. From version 2.0.0 to before version 2.0.1, the SCP middleware in charm.land/wish/v2 is vulnerable to path traversal attacks. A malicious SCP client can read arbitrary files from the server, write arbitrary files to the server, and create directories outside the configured root directory by sending crafted filenames containing ../ sequences over the SCP protocol. This issue has been patched in version 2.0.1.

GHSA-xjvp-7243-rg9h — Wish has SCP Path Traversal that allows arbitrary file read/write

Affected: Go: charm.land/wish/v2, Go: github.com/charmbracelet/wish

## Summary

The SCP middleware in `charm.land/wish/v2` is vulnerable to path traversal attacks. A malicious SCP client can read arbitrary files from the server, write arbitrary files to the server, and create directories outside the configured root directory by sending crafted filenames containing `../` sequences over the SCP protocol.

## Affected Versions

- `charm.land/wish/v2` — all versions through commit `72d67e6` (current `main`) - `github.com/charmbracelet/wish` — likely all v1 versions (same code pattern)

## Details

### Root Cause

The `fileSystemHandler.prefixed()` method in `scp/filesystem.go:42-48` is intended to confine all file operations to a configured root directory. However, it fails to validate that the resolved path remains within the root:

```go func (h *fileSystemHandler) prefixed(path string) string { path = filepath.Clean(path) if strings.HasPrefix(path, h.root) { return path } return filepath.Join(h.root, path) } ```

When `path` contains `../` components, `filepath.Clean` resolves them but does not reject them. The subsequent `filepath.Join(h.root, path)` produces a path that escapes the root directory.

### Attack Vector 1: Arbitrary File Write (scp -t)

When receiving files from a client (`scp -t`), filenames are parsed from the SCP protocol wire using regexes that accept arbitrary strings:

```go reNewFile = regexp.MustCompile(`^C(\d{4}) (\d+) (.*)$`) reNewFolder = regexp.MustCompile(`^D(\d{4}) 0 (.*)$`) ```
