Title
Kopia: Unauthenticated RCE via SSH ProxyCommand Injection when --insecure --without-password is used
Summary
Kopia is a cross-platform backup tool for Windows, macOS, and Linux with fast incremental backups, client-side end-to-end encryption, compression, and data deduplication. Prior to 0.23.0, Kopia's HTTP server started with --without-password accepts unauthenticated requests to /api/v1/repo/exists and forwards attacker-supplied SFTP storage configuration to blob.NewStorage, where externalSSH: true and sshArguments containing -oProxyCommand=<cmd> can cause exec.CommandContext("ssh") to invoke the command through OpenSSH. This issue is fixed in version 0.23.0.
