I'd be curious whether there's any security concerns on this one. Could an attacker craft a message that gets access to execute commands into a client terminal?

#26I created a throwaway ed25519 key, reconfigured ssh config, and tried to connect with ‘ssh chat’
Nothing loads. ‘ssh -v chat’ isn’t helpful either. ping and nc (on both 22 and 443) show the server (or load balancer) is accessible for me.
Maybe a “hnfp DoS” (hacker news front page DoS)?

This is not sshd, this is a golang binary that uses the stdlib ssh lib. You would have to either a) figure out how to escape out of a golang binary, or b) if the go code executes shell commands with some user provided text, trying to shell inject something in there.
