CVE-2026-129117 Nov 13, 2026 Source: Vendor
C-Kermit 8.0.200 before 11.1.515 contains an improper certificate validation vulnerability that allows machine-in-the-middle attackers to impersonate Telnet servers because ssl_reply() never calls ssl_check_server_name(). Attackers can refuse START-TLS, offer Telnet AUTHENTICATION SSL, and present any trusted CA certificate to capture user credentials and session data.
