Description
sshproxy is used on a gateway to transparently proxy a user SSH connection on the gateway to an internal host via SSH. Prior to version 1.6.3, any user authorized to connect to a ssh server using sshproxy can inject options to the ssh command executed by sshproxy. All versions of sshproxy are impacted. The problem is patched starting in version 1.6.3. The only workaround is to use the force_command option in sshproxy.yaml, but it's rarely relevant.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/cea-hpc/sshproxy, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update github.com/cea-hpc/sshproxy to 1.6.3 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2024-34713 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
Stop passing untrusted input into the interpreter or shell: call the affected binary with an argument array rather than a composed command string, reject anything outside a strict allowlist of expected values, and run the component under an account that cannot reach beyond the work it legitimately does.
