CVE-2026-102823: russh: Client-side channel-scoped Handler callbacks fire for channel IDs the client never opened

September 30, 2026

CVE-2026-68930 was fixed by adding Session::is_established_channel() in russh/src/server/encrypted.rs, which gates every channel-scoped SERVER-side message (CHANNEL_REQUEST, CHANNEL_DATA, CHANNEL_EOF, CHANNEL_CLOSE, CHANNEL_WINDOW_ADJUST, CHANNEL_EXTENDED_DATA) on enc.channels.get(&channel).is_some_and(|c| c.confirmed) before invoking any Handler callback. The identical validation was never added to the CLIENT side (russh/src/client/encrypted.rs), which processes channel-scoped messages sent by the SSH SERVER once the client has authenticated.
