And with good reason. This CVE is from yesterday:
https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-24061
> telnetd in GNU Inetutils through 2.7 allows remote authentication bypass via a "-f root" value for the USER environment variable.
Telnetd is the server though, and OP wouldn’t be using that.
ah, good point.
