v3.1.0
This release features tests for the Terrapin message prefix truncation vulnerability in the SSH protocol (CVE-2023-48795), along with other minor enhancements and fixes.
This version is also available as a PyPI package (pip3 install ssh-audit
), Docker image (docker pull positronsecurity/ssh-audit
), Snap package (snap install ssh-audit
), or as a Windows executable (see below, though be aware that sometimes Windows Defender inappropriately detects it as malware!).
The full change log is:
- Added test for the Terrapin message prefix truncation vulnerability (CVE-2023-48795).
- Dropped support for Python 3.7 (EOL was reached in June 2023).
- Added Python 3.12 support.
- In server policies, reduced expected DH modulus sizes from 4096 to 3072 to match the online hardening guides (note that 3072-bit moduli provide the equivalent of 128-bit symmetric security).
- In Ubuntu 22.04 client policy, moved host key types
