  - Versions of OpenPubkey library prior to 0.10.0 contained a vulnerability that would allow a specially
    crafted JWS to bypass signature verification. As OPKSSH depends on the OpenPubkey library for
    authentication, this vulnerability in OpenPubkey also applies to OPKSSH versions prior to 0.5.0 and would
    allow an attacker to bypass OPKSSH authentication. (CVE-2025-4658)
