CVE-2026-39828: golang.org/x/crypto/ssh vulnerable to invoking bypass of certificate restrictions
(updated )
When an SSH server authentication callback returned PartialSuccessError with non-nil Permissions, those permissions were silently discarded, potentially dropping certificate restrictions such as force-command after a second factor succeeded. Returning non-nil Permissions with PartialSuccessError now results in a connection error.
