GNU InetUtils telnetd Authentication Bypass Exploited in the Wild
A critical authentication bypass in GNU InetUtils telnetd (CVE-2026-24061) is actively exploited only days after the public reporting of the flaw. It's urgent that you block any telnet server you are using from the Internet.
**THIS IS URGENT! Check if you are using Telnet anywhere in your network. IMMEDIATELY isolate the Telnet interface to trusted networks and patch the code. Then stop using Telnet and switch to SSH.**
