Upgrade asyncssh to version 1.12.1 or higher.

Overview

asyncssh is a Python package which provides an asynchronous client and server implementation of the SSHv2 protocol on top of the Python 3.4+ asyncio framework.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Authentication Bypass. It does not properly check whether authentication is completed before processing other requests. A customized SSH client can simply skip the authentication step.
