Bug ID: 3775
Summary: Docs: ssh-keyscan is like `StrictHostKeyChecking=no`,
but few know that.
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: 9.9p1
Hardware: Other
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5
Component: ssh-keyscan
Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
Reporter: info at thomas-guettler.de
I have seen a lot of usage of ssh-keyscan in Github Actions.
This is like using `StrictHostKeyChecking=no`, but only few people
seem to realize that.
Man-in-the-middle attacks are possible if you use ssh-keyscan.
Please update the man page and the `--help` output and mention that.
