What is CVE-2016-10009?
The untrusted search path vulnerability in OpenSSH's ssh-agent component allows remote attackers to exploit control over a forwarded agent-socket. By manipulating this control, attackers can execute arbitrary local PKCS#11 modules. This can lead to unauthorized actions and compromise the security integrity of the system, as it bypasses typical safeguards in place for module execution.
Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)
PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
