SSH clients receiving SSH_AGENT_SUCCESS when expecting a typed response will panic and cause early termination of the client process.
Update golang.org/x/crypto/ssh/agent to 0.43.0 if you use the affected versions. Test the change in a non-production environment first.
Local check
hol-guard supply-chain scangolang.org/x/crypto/ssh/agent has a potential denial of service affects golang.org/x/crypto/ssh/agent (go). Severity is high. SSH clients receiving SSH_AGENT_SUCCESS when expecting a typed response will panic and cause early termination of the client process.
AI coding agents often install or upgrade packages automatically in go. A high vulnerability in a dependency can be pulled into a project through a normal install or update without a human reviewing the change, expanding the blast radius from a single package to every agent workspace that depends on it.
| Package | Affected range | Fixed version |
|---|---|---|
| golang.org/x/crypto/ssh/agentgo | <0.43.0 | 0.43.0 |
Fixed versions are reported by the source feed; confirm compatibility before updating.
