Description

Maintainer: @vgaetera @fededim
Environment: Any, for example, TP-Link Archer C7 v2 on OpenWrt 23.05.5

Description:

The sstp.sh protocol handler disables SSL certificate validation unconditionally by passing the --cert-warn option to sstpc. This is a security problem.

Research direction

Inspect the sstp.sh protocol handler and the sstpc invocation, focusing on the unconditional --cert-warn option described in the issue. Done means certificate validation is no longer disabled unconditionally; verify the resulting handler behavior on an OpenWrt environment or with the available sstpc command.
