CVE-2026-47829 CloudFoundry Foundation CVE debrief

Who should care

Operators and administrators using bosh-cli, especially those with BOSH Directors that may be compromised, should be aware of this vulnerability and take steps to mitigate it. This includes ensuring that BOSH Directors are properly secured and monitored for potential compromise, using secure SSH configurations, and restricting access to BOSH Directors. Additionally, operators should monitor for suspicious activity on their workstations.

Technical summary

The vulnerability exists in the bosh-cli tool, which is used to interact with BOSH Directors. When an operator runs certain non-interactive SSH commands, such as 'bosh ssh -c' or 'bosh logs -f', the compromised BOSH Director can inject arbitrary OpenSSH options. This injection can lead to local command execution on the operator's workstation. The issue is particularly severe because it allows for the execution of arbitrary commands on the operator's local machine, potentially leading to privilege escalation or lateral movement within the environment.

Defensive priority

High

Recommended defensive actions

• Upgrade bosh-cli to version 7.10.4 or later
• Ensure that BOSH Directors are properly secured and monitored for potential compromise
• Use secure SSH configurations and restrict access to BOSH Directors
• Monitor for suspicious activity on operator workstations
• Review compensating controls for exposed systems while remediation is scheduled and verified
• Check relevant monitoring, detection, and logs for exposed assets that need extra review
• Track exceptions, retest remediated assets, and close the item only after evidence is documented
