Thanks for the answer. Now I understand the problem better.

Mitigation might be possible, but with the risk of a changing
fingerprint due to different preferred algorithms. For most users, this
might be more error prone and it's more likely that the users accepts a
wrong fingerprint.

So the only real mitigation is setting up a CA and using certificates,
or is this a wrong assumption?

The documentation is updated with your answer and the recommendation
how to mitigate this vulnerability was changed.

Sorry, that I have escalated this vulnerability.
