Details
It was discovered that Erlang OTP’s SSH module incorrectly enforced strict
KEX handshake hardening measures. A remote attacker able to intercept
communications could possibly use this issue to insert optional messages
into connections during the handshake. (CVE-2025-46712)

user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted ZIP
archive, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to overwrite
arbitrary files outside of the intended directory. (CVE-2025-4748)
