UBUNTU-CVE-2026-93858 (CVE-2026-93858)
Vulnerability from osv_ubuntu – Published: 2026-10-08 18:18 – Updated: 2026-10-17 09:58 – Source websiteIn OpenStack Mistral through 23.0.0, the std.ssh_proxied action passes a caller-supplied proxy_command value directly to paramiko.ProxyCommand() before any SSH connection to a gateway or target host is attempted. An authenticated project member can use the standard action-execution API to submit an arbitrary local command as proxy_command; paramiko starts that command as a subprocess on the executor host under the executor's own service account, independent of whether the SSH connection itself ever succeeds. Only Mistral deployments that permit the std.ssh_proxied action, the default configuration, are affected.
