CVE-2026-59995 is an improper path-constraining vulnerability in the OpenSSH sftp client before 10.4. When a client downloads from an attacker-controlled SFTP server using the form sftp server:/path ., the client does not properly constrain the destination location of server-supplied downloaded files. A malicious server can cause files to be placed outside the intended local download directory.
