#cURL doesn’t validate SSH host identity if known_hosts file is missing. I think this is a #vulnerability, but the project disagrees. Advisory is here: https://sintonen.fi/advisories/curl-ssh-insufficient-host-identity-verification.txt

@harrysintonen@infosec.exchange nice find, I don’t know how curl defines a vulnerability, but it definitely should have more warnings and preferably fail closed, although that might break quite a few systems which depend on this insecure behaviour
