Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Unprotected Alternate Channel due to the omission of confirmation in proxy-mode multiplexing sessions. An attacker can cause unintended data handling by establishing a multiplexed session without explicit confirmation when specific and complex conditions are met that require user interaction.
