CVE-2005-2146 describes a vulnerability in SSH Tectia Server 4.3.1 and earlier, as well as SSH Secure Shell for Windows Servers. The flaw stems from insecure permissions during the generation of the Secure Shell host identification key, allowing local users to access this key. This access enables attackers to spoof the server, potentially leading to unauthorized access or man-in-the-middle attacks. With a CVSS score of 4.6 (AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P), it represents a low-complexity local attack with potential for partial confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
