Code Review
This pull request updates the Go version in examples/scripts/go.mod to 1.26.0 and bumps several golang.org/x dependencies. The reviewer pointed out that Go 1.26.0 is not a released version and will break builds, and suggested reverting it to 1.24.0.

Go 1.26.0 is not a released version of Go (the current stable version is Go 1.24.x). Specifying go 1.26.0 in go.mod will cause the Go toolchain to fail to resolve the required Go version, breaking builds and script execution. Please revert this to a released Go version, such as 1.24.0.

Prevent DoS on deadlocked undecided channel in golang.org/x/crypto/ssh
CVE-2026-78662 / GO-2026-6354
More information
Details
Previously, a channel registered in the mux's chanList is not usable until it is established. A malicious peer was able flood the channel's incomingRequests, deadlocking the entire connection.
Now, we add an atomic established state, set when a channel becomes usable. Until such a time, handlePacket drops every packet other than the open confirmation/failure, without blocking and without tearing down the connection.

Prevent DoS on deadlocked established channel in golang.org/x/crypto/ssh
CVE-2026-56855 / GO-2026-6355
More information
Details
Previously, after a channel has been established, a malicious peer could send crafted messages that would deadlock the entire connection.
Now, we handle all RFC 4254 channel messages; global requests are handled explicitly. Then, treat all other messages as a protocol error and tear the connection down instead of buffering and blocking.

golang.org/x/crypto vulnerable to invoking bypass of certificate restrictions
CVE-2026-39828 / GHSA-45gg-vh54-h5m9 / GO-2026-5014
More information
Details
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.

golang.org/x/crypto vulnerable to auth bypass via unenforced @revoked status
CVE-2026-42508 / GHSA-5cgq-3rg8-m6cv / GO-2026-5021
More information
Details
Previously, a revoked 'SignatureKey' belonging to a CA was not correctly checked for revocation. Now, both the 'key' and 'key.SignatureKey' are checked for @revoked.

golang.org/x/crypto is vulnerable to invoking server panic during CheckHostKey/Authenticate flow
CVE-2026-39835 / GHSA-78mq-xcr3-xm33 / GO-2026-5015
More information
Details
SSH servers which use CertChecker as a public key callback without setting IsUserAuthority or IsHostAuthority could be caused to panic by a client presenting a certificate. CertChecker now returns an error instead of panicking when these callbacks are nil.

golang.org/x/crypto: FIDO/U2F security key physical presence check can be bypassed
CVE-2026-39831 / GHSA-89gr-r52h-f8rx / GO-2026-5019
More information
Details
The Verify() method for FIDO/U2F security key types (sk-ecdsa-sha2-nistp256@openssh.com, sk-ssh-ed25519@openssh.com) did not check the User Presence flag. Signatures generated without physical touch were accepted, allowing unattended use of a hardware security key. To restore the previous behavior, return a "no-touch-required" extension in Permissions.Extensions from PublicKeyCallback.

golang.org/x/crypto: Invoking pathological inputs can lead to client panic
CVE-2026-46598 / GHSA-9m57-25v3-79x9 / GO-2026-5033
More information
Details
For certain crafted inputs, a 'ed25519.PrivateKey' was created by casting malformed wire bytes, leading to a panic when used.

golang.org/x/crypto doesn't drop invoking agent constraints when forwarding keys
CVE-2026-39832 / GHSA-f5wc-c3c7-36mc / GO-2026-5006
More information
Details
When adding a key to a remote agent constraint extensions such as restrict-destination-v00@openssh.com were not serialized in the request. Destination restrictions were silently stripped when forwarding keys, allowing unrestricted use of the key on the remote host. The client now serializes all constraint extensions. Additionally, the in-memory keyring returned by NewKeyring() now rejects keys with unsupported constraint extensions instead of silently ignoring them.

golang.org/x/crypto doesn't enforce invoking key constraints
CVE-2026-39833 / GHSA-jppx-rxg9-jmrx / GO-2026-5005
More information
Details
The in-memory keyring returned by NewKeyring() silently accepted keys with the ConfirmBeforeUse constraint but never enforced it. The key would sign without any confirmation prompt, with no indication to the caller that the constraint was not in effect. NewKeyring() now returns an error when unsupported constraints are requested.

CVE-2026-46597 / GHSA-q4h4-gmj2-qvw2 / GO-2026-5013

Details
An incorrectly placed cast from bytes to int allowed for server-side panic in the AES-GCM packet decoder for well-crafted inputs.

golang.org/x/crypto: Invoking memory leak when rejecting channels can lead to DoS
CVE-2026-39827 / GHSA-qpw4-5x99-6vjp / GO-2026-5016
More information
Details
An authenticated SSH client that repeatedly opened channels which were rejected by the server caused unbounded memory growth, eventually crashing the server process and affecting all connected users. Rejected channels are now properly removed from the connection's internal state and released for garbage collection.

golang.org/x/crypto vulnerable to infinite loop on large channel writes
CVE-2026-39834 / GHSA-rm3j-f69w-wqmq / GO-2026-5020
More information
Details
When writing data larger than 4GB in a single Write call on an SSH channel, an integer overflow in the internal payload size calculation caused the write loop to spin indefinitely, sending empty packets without making progress. The size comparison now uses int64 to prevent truncation.

golang.org/x/crypto: Invoking client can cause server deadlock on unexpected responses
CVE-2026-39830 / GHSA-vgwf-h737-ff37 / GO-2026-5017
More information
Details
A malicious SSH peer could send unsolicited global request responses to fill an internal buffer, blocking the connection's read loop. The blocked goroutine could not be released by calling Close(), resulting in a resource leak per connection. Unsolicited global responses are now discarded.

golang.org/x/crypto: Invoking pathological RSA/DSA parameters may cause DoS
CVE-2026-39829 / GHSA-w879-237q-wc7r / GO-2026-5018
More information
Details
The RSA and DSA public key parsers did not enforce size limits on key parameters. A crafted public key with an excessively large modulus or DSA parameter could cause several minutes of CPU consumption during signature verification. This could be triggered by unauthenticated clients during public key authentication. RSA moduli are now limited to 8192 bits, and DSA parameters are validated per FIPS 186-2.

CVE-2026-46595 / GHSA-x527-x647-q7gg / GO-2026-5023

Details
Previously, CVE-2024-45337 fixed an authorization bypass for misused ssh server configurations; if any other type of callback is passed other than public key, then the source-address validation would be skipped.
