- AceJohnny2 9mo ago> Telnet nowadays typically isn’t available by default for security reasons And with good reason. This CVE is from yesterday: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-24061 https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-24061 > telnetd in GNU Inetutils through 2.7 allows remote authentication bypass via a "-f root" value for the USER environment variable.
- layer8 9mo agoTelnetd is the server though, and OP wouldn’t be using that.
