NVDhttps://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2010-4478
CWEhttps://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/287.html

OpenSSH 5.6 and earlier, when J-PAKE is enabled, does not properly validate the public parameters in the J-PAKE protocol, which allows remote attackers to bypass the need for knowledge of the shared secret, and successfully authenticate, by sending crafted values in each round of the protocol, a related issue to CVE-2010-4252.

Weakness

When an actor claims to have a given identity, the product does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct.
