CVE-2019-6111 describes a vulnerability in OpenSSH 7.9's scp client, stemming from its legacy rcp implementation, which allows a malicious scp server or Man-in-The-Middle attacker to overwrite arbitrary files in the client's target directory, including sensitive files like .ssh/authorized_keys during recursive operations. This medium-severity vulnerability (CVSS 5.9) has a network attack vector and high integrity impact, but requires high attack complexity. While not currently in CISA's KEV catalog or actively exploited, public exploit code exists on ExploitDB, though community discussion and media coverage are minimal.
