This tool retrieves SSH configuration information from the host system. While it is a read-only operation (no data modification), the sensitivity is elevated to medium severity because SSH configuration files often contain sensitive information such as private key paths, authentication methods, allowed users, ports, and other security-critical settings that could be leveraged by an attacker if disclosed.
