When a libcurl-based application performs transfers via SCP:// or SFTP://
and utilizes the CURLOPT_SSH_KEYFUNCTION callback, it may silently accept an
untrusted server. This vulnerability occurs when a server presents a host key
type that does not match the specific key type already recorded for that host
in the known_hosts file. Instead of rejecting the mismatch, the callback
mechanism fails to properly enforce the restriction, allowing the connection
to succeed without warning and risking a potential man-in-the-middle attack.
