CVE-2026-9547 (GCVE-0-2026-9547)

Title
SSH improper host validation
Summary
When a libcurl-based application performs transfers via `SCP://` or `SFTP://` and utilizes the `CURLOPT_SSH_KEYFUNCTION` callback, it may silently accept an untrusted server. This vulnerability occurs when a server presents a host key type that does not match the specific key type already recorded for that host in the `known_hosts` file. Instead of rejecting the mismatch, the callback mechanism fails to properly enforce the restriction, allowing the connection to succeed without warning and risking a potential man-in-the-middle attack.

This vulnerability occurs when a server presents a host key\ntype that does not match the specific key type already recorded for that host\nin the `known_hosts` file. Instead of rejecting the mismatch, the callback\nmechanism fails to properly enforce the restriction, allowing the connection\nto succeed without warning and risking a potential man-in-the-middle attack.",

Instead of rejecting the mismatch, the callback\nmechanism fails to properly enforce the restriction, allowing the connection\nto succeed without warning and risking a potential man-in-the-middle attack.",
