CVE-2026-77185

A flaw was found in Apache MINA SSHD. When a Secure Shell (SSH) server implements the asynchronous authentication feature, a logic error in signature verification can result in public-key or host-based authentication checks being skipped. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this flaw to bypass authentication and gain unauthorized access to the server.

7.4 (High)

CVE-2026-93994

A flaw was found in Apache MINA SSHD. When the server is configured to require multiple Secure Shell (SSH) public keys for authentication, it fails to verify that the submitted keys are distinct. A remote user can exploit this flaw by presenting the same public key twice to satisfy multi-key authentication requirements. This flaw results in an authentication bypass, allowing an attacker to gain unauthorized access using fewer credentials than mandated by the security policy.

8.1 (High)

CVE-2026-77185 (GCVE-0-2026-77185)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-09-30 09:47 – Updated: 2026-09-30 16:52

Title

Apache MINA SSHD: Asynchronous authentication can bypass signature verification

Summary

Authentication bypass in sshd-core in Apache MINA SSHD versions 2.0.0 to 2.19.0 and 3.0.0-M1 to 3.0.0-M5 for a certain (presumed rare) way to implement an SSH server. Apache MINA SSHD is a Java library for client- and server-side SSH. In the server part of the library, a mechanism to perform "asynchronous authentication" exists. A server implemented with Apache MINA SSHD must contain explicit code to make use of this feature. The implementation of this feature was flawed and could potentially lead to skipping checking the signature in public-key or hostbased authentication, or returning a wrong result. Users are recommended to upgrade to Apache MINA SSHD 2.20.0 or 3.0.0-M6, which fix the logic error and which additionally forbid the use of this "asynchronous authentication" mechanism with the public-key or hostbased authentication schemes: if used, the SSH session will be closed and the server will log an entry indicating that asynchronous authentication may be used only with password or keyboard-interactive authentication.

CVE-2026-93994 (GCVE-0-2026-93994)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-09-30 09:45 – Updated: 2026-09-30 14:29

Title

Apache MINA SSHD: Repeated-publickey policy bypass on server

Summary

Apache MINA SSHD is a Java library for client-side and server-side SSH. SSH servers can be configured to require multi-authentication schemes, for instance two different public keys, not just one. In OpenSSH, this would be done by setting in sshd_config AuthenticationMethods "publickey,publickey". Apache MINA SSHD provides an equivalent configuration mechanism. In Apache MINA SSHD versions up to 2.19.0 and 3.0.0-M1 to 3.0.0-M5 the server code in component sshd-core does not enforce that the two public keys presented are different. A user can thus successfully authenticate with only one of the two key pairs required by presenting this single key twice. This is a partial authentication bypass. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.20.0 or 3.0.0-M6, which fix this issue.

How durations are calculated

Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.

Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.
