This vulnerability is associated with program files lib/ssh/src/ssh_sftpd.erl.\n\nThis issue affects OTP form OTP 17.0 until OTP 28.0.3, OTP 27.3.4.3 and 26.2.5.15 corresponding to ssh from 3.0.1 until 5.3.3, 5.2.11.3 and 5.1.4.12.\n\n## Workaround\n\n*  disabling SFTP\n  *  limiting number of max_sessions allowed for sshd, so exploiting becomes more complicated\n\n## Configuration\n\nThe SFTP subsystem must be enabled on the SSH server and the SSH port must be reachable by the attacker. SFTP is enabled by default unless explicitly disabled by setting {subsystems, []} in the SSH daemon configuration.","id":"EEF-CVE-2025-48041","modified":"2026-04-07T14:38:02.322Z","published":"2025-09-11T08:14:20.508Z","references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/erlang/otp/security/advisories/GHSA-79c4-cvv7-4qm3"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://cna.erlef.org/cves/CVE-2025-48041.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.erlang.org/doc/system/versions.html#order-of-versions"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/erlang/otp/pull/10157"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/erlang/otp/commit/5f9af63eec4657a37663828d206517828cb9f288"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/erlang/otp/commit/d49efa2d4fa9e6f7ee658719cd76ffe7a33c2401"}],"related":[],"schema_version":"1.7.3","severity":[{"score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","type":"CVSS_V4"}],"summary":"SSH_FXP_OPENDIR may Lead to Exhaustion of File Handles","upstream":[]}
