Detect a ServerHostKeyVerifier (SSH/SFTP client host-identity validation) whose verifyServerHostKey(...) method always returns the literal
truewithout inspecting the presented key.When host key verification is disabled in this way, an on-path attacker can impersonate the SSH/SFTP peer, hijack the session, and harvest any credential the client exchanges (private keys, passwords), enabling full man-in-the-middle takeover of the connection.
