  - In sshd in OpenSSH before 10.4, DisableForwarding=yes was supposed to take precedence over
    PermitTunnel=yes, but did not. (CVE-2026-59999)

  - sftp client allows attacker to control downloaded file location (CVE-2026-59995)

  - Security bypass due to incorrect handling of forwarding and tunneling options (CVE-2026-73283)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
