Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.73%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

The SSH server implementation of AsyncSSH before 1.12.1 does not properly check whether authentication is completed before processing other requests. A customized SSH client can simply skip the authentication step.
