The most significant issues include the failure to enforce Certificate Revocation Lists (CRL) when using the OpenSSL backend (CVE-2026-115881), improper validation of certificate chains in legacy LibreSSL configurations (CVE-2026-115884), and a session decryption risk in Mbed TLS builds. Additionally, a login bypass affects form-based authentication using the Blowfish password format.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese vulnerabilities are design and implementation flaws specific to how firmware developers compile the GoAhead server.
