SSH (and derivatives) is the protocol Secure Shell protocol implementation. It is available for various operating systems, although this vulnerability affects operating systems such as Unix and Linux.

It has been reported that it is possible for a remote user to upload files to world-writeable directories, and execute commands from world-writeable directories.

ssh -l user host '/tmp/malicious'
