Tailscale SSH flaws allow compromised device to gain root on reachable servers

The attack requires the attacker to control a device permitted by the network's access rules to connect to the target server.

Why it matters: Network administrators must patch or reconfigure Tailscale SSH to prevent lateral privilege escalation across their infrastructure.
