Summary

OpenSSH through 10.6 uses the macOS 27 or later SDK in sshd, which has the side effect of losing sandboxing. The flaw is an improper isolation or compartmentalization weakness (CWE-653). A remote attacker with low privileges and high attack complexity can affect integrity, and CISA's SSVC assessment records no exploitation.
