An issue was discovered in OpenSSH 7.9. Due to missing character encodingin the progress display, a malicious server (or Man-in-The-Middle attacker)can employ crafted object names to manipulate the client output, e.g., byusing ANSI control codes to hide additional files being transferred. Thisaffects refresh_progress_meter() in progressmeter.c.
